Metzler. - Bro. Daniel S. Metzler was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., March 5, 1858; died at his late residence near Manheim, Pa., Sept. 10, 1931; aged 73 y. 6 m. 5 d. Death, which was caused by neuralgia of the heart, came very unexpectedly and without a moment's warning. He had retired from his former occupation of farming 22 years ago and spent the greater part of his time in the work of the Church. He was a deacon in the Mennonite Church for the past 30 years, and a trustee of the Oreville Mennonite Old People's Home for 22 years. He united with the Church in his early youth, and lived a quiet, consistent and peaceable Christian life. His kind deeds and consideration won for him many friends in all stations and walks of life. He was united in marriage to Lizzie Erb Oct. 9, 1879. They lived happily together until she passed away 11 years ago. There remain to mourn his departure 1 daughter (Mrs. Minnie Kreider), 2 sons (Harvey E. and John E.), 11 grandchildren, 1 sister (Mrs. Lizzie Hernley), and a brother (Elias). Funeral services were held at his late home and at Erismans' Mennonite Church Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12. Services were conducted by Bishops Isaac Brubaker and Henry Lutz. The text of Bishop Lutz's sermon was one found marked in the pages of Bro. Metzler's Bible (Matt. 23:13). Interment at Erismans' cemetery.
A sudden change, he in a moment fell,
He had not time to bid his friends farewell;
Think this not strange, death happens to us all,
This day was his, to-morrow you may fall.
