Jacob K Beehler, 83, who underwent a major operation two weeks ago, at the Epworth hospital, South Bend, passed way at his home on South Elkhart street, Saturday evening.
Mr Beehler retired from farming four years ago, and moved from his farm, two miles west and two miles south of town, where he lived for more than forty years, to the present home in Wakarusa.

Mr Beehler was married four times — on December 18, 1888, to Anna Weil, who died in 1891; in 1893 to Mary Ann Good, who died in 1915 in 1918 to Mrs Kate Longsdorf, who died in 1936, and on Sept 17, 1938, to Mrs Mary Fascom, who survives.
Other survivors are Mrs Ruth Richardson of this place, daughter by his first marriage; Mrs Candace Letherman, Mrs Edna Weaver and Mrs Sarah Hoover, all of near here, daughters by the second marriage; 13 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, 3 step-children, and a brother, August Beehler of Bremen, who is last survivor of the family.
A brief funeral service was conducted at the home at 2 pm Tuesday, followed by a service at 2:30 at the Mennonite Brethren in Christ church, which he joined in 1901, by the Revs A B Yoder, Kenneth Geiger and Paul Steiner. Burial in South Union cemetery.
