He also leaves one brother and four sisters and 22 grandchildren, five of whom preceeded him to the better land.
His first failure in health was in August 1912 from which he never fully recovered. Ten weeks ago he was confined to his bed until death. He bore his afflictions patiently. He was a man who tried to live in a way to be honest to his fellowmen, although not belonging to any religious organization, he took great interest in the contents of the Bible. The last words we have to remember him were:
"Ye who are weary, come home." Our losses are his eternal gain. Although father's chair is vacant, and our eyes are wet with tears, We give thanks to our heavenly father, for his presence with us those years. Sleep on, our beloved, sleep and take thy rest. Lay thy head upon our Savior's breast. O, yet we all loved you, But Jesus loves you best. Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!
Funeral was preached by Bro. Daniel Lingafelter. He used as his subject St. John 6:68.
