Barnhart.-- On the 28th of September, 1894, near Dayton, Rockingham Co., Va., of a complication of diseases, Rebecca Susan, wife of John H. Barnhart and daughter of Pre. Abraham B. and Sarah H. Wenger, calmly fell asleep in Jesus, after a lingering illness of about ten weeks, at the age of 28 yrs., 9 mo., and 16 days. She leaves a deeply bereaved husband and four small children to mourn her departure. While in her youth she gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Mennonite church, of which she continued a faithful member until death. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude, and her patience, resignation and perfect submission to the will of God were an example to us all. She was a good wife, a kind daughter and a loving sister. Her life was a quiet, devoted one. It is hard to bury one so dear, but we have a bright hope that she is at rest. On the 30th her remains were laid to rest in the Weaver cemetery, where a large concourse of friends and acquaintances congregated to pay the last tribute of respect to our loved sister. Funeral services were conducted by J. F. Heatwole and Samuel Weaver from Isaiah 61:2.
"We miss thee from thy place, dear Beckey,
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee-
We miss thee everywhere."
