In 1865 he with his family moved to Elkhart County, Ind., and for 46 years lived on the farm where he died. Nearly three weeks before his death he was taken with symptoms of pneumonia, and gradually failed until he was summoned from on high to his eternal home. He was the father of 3 sons and 3 daughters; 2 sons died in infancy. He leaves to mourn his death his aged companion, 2 sons, John of Elkhart County, Ind., and Isaac of Leetonia, O., and 3 daughters, Mary at home, Susan, wife of Eli Wenger, and Lucretia, wife of George Weldy; also 1 brother, 1 sister, and 10 grandchildren. He united with the Mennonite Church 65 years ago, and was a faithful, devoted brother, for whom we need not mourn as those who have no hope, but may rejoice in the blessed assurance that if we are faithful to the Master's calling, we shall meet him with those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. He was buried Aug. 18, in Olive Cemetery, where a large concourse of people were assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. Appropriate services were conducted in the Olive Mennonite Church by John F. Funk and Silas Weldy from the text, Col. 3:1-4. The Lord comfort the sorrowing hearts.
