BURKHOLDER. - On the 31st of Aug., 1900, near Harrisonburg, Rockingham Co., Va., Sister Rebecca Burkholder, widow of Bishop Martin Burkholder, aged 79 years, 5 months and 12 days. In the spring she had a fall from which she suffered a great deal. About five months ago she was partially paralyzed. At times she was almost helpless. At other times she could walk about in her room when assisted. She was a consistent member of the Mennonite Church for a number of years, and possessed such principles that we have reasons to believe that she is now sweetly resting with her Savior and loved ones in the glorious mansions prepared for the faithful, free from all troubles and trials. She bore her sufferings patiently and seemed to be anxiously waiting for the end. Her husband preceded her to the spirit world nearly forty years ago. She was the mother of nine children. Three children and thirteen grandchildren survive her. Funeral services were conducted by Bro. Christian Good from Rev. 2:10. "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Interment in the Weaver church burying-ground.
