Lefever. - Sister Hettie Herr, wife of Bro. Frank S. Lefever of Lampeter, Pa., entered into rest at the Lancaster, General Hospital July 19, 1916, following an operation performed on July 10; aged 50 y. 1 m. 9 d. Brief services were held July 23, at the home of Bro. Frank M. Herr, and at Mellingers M. H. by Bros. Christian Brubaker and C. M. Brackbill. Text, Eph. 3:19.
She is survived by her husband and these children: Ada, wife of Isaac Hollinger, Isaac, Mary, Leaman, Cora, and Martin. Also her aged mother, 5 brothers and 4 sisters. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sorrow, made doubly sad, since only 7 months ago the beloved, and oldest daughter was called from this family circle; and while the parting here is sad, over yonder on the shores of eternal glory, the meeting between mother and daughter brings only joy and gladness.
She will be greatly missed in the home, where her loving, unselfish nature made her ever ready to sacrifice for her loved ones. In the Brick Church, of which she was a faithful and consistent member, and where her place was never vacant unless health did not permit, and in the community where she was ever ready to assist and lend a helping hand to those in sickness or distress.
It is hard to realize that we shall see her face no more, and while we cherish her memory dearly, let us strive to live more faithful, and say in the language of the poet, God knows best.
"Then be content, sad heart!
Godís plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold:
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toil, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest.
When we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we will say. God knew the best!"
L.L.M.
