His death was due to declining years, and for the last six weeks heart complications set in which brought his end quickly. He was one of a family of thirteen children. Only the two youngest brothers remain and due to advanced years, neither of them was able to attend the funeral of their brother. In 1881 he came to Elkhart Co, Ind. For three years he taught public schools in Elkhart, Concord, and Olive townships.
In 1883 he was married to Carrie Smith. To this union were born 1 son and 3 daughters. One daughter (Ethel R) preceded him in death in 1909. About twenty-six years ago he moved from his farm in Harrison township to Goshen, where he resided until his death.
He united with the Yellow Creek Mennonite Church in 1893. Later he transferred his membership to the Goshen College congregation and remained a faithful member till death. He was active in Sunday school work at the Yellow Creek Church and also at Goshen College. He served as superintendent of the Yellow Creek Sunday School and as a teacher of the older men's class at the College for many years. He was also active in a Sunday school that met at Union Chapel, southwest of Goshen, for a long period. He was a member of the Elkhart Institute Association, the forerunner of the Mennonite Board of Education, and served as Vice President and President in the early years of its organization. He served as a director of the Mennonite Aid Association of the Indiana-Michigan Conference from the organization of this association until his death.
He is survived by his son (Walter) and 2 daughters (Mrs Grace Merrittt and Mrs Peter (Pearl) Economos) all of Goshen. Pearl was unable to attend the funeral on account of her illness. He is also survived by 2 brothers (Isaac Wambold, a minister of Markham, Ont, and Joseph Wambold, of London, Ont).
Truly a servant of the Lord has been called home to his reward. Bro. Wambold found much joy in the assembly of saints and in the service of the Lord. He realized his weakening condition and called for an anointing service April 18, which service was performed by Bro S C Yoder. This brought him much joy and distinct blessing as he expressed himself. Funeral services were held June 3 from the Goshen College Chapel, in charge of C L Graber, S C Yoder, and GS Stoneback. Interment in the Yellow Creek Cemetery by the side of his wife.
