Herner. - Benjamin, son of Samuel and Mary Herner, was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Nov. 2, 1845; died Mar. 3, 1915; aged 69 y. 4 m. 1 d. He was united in marriage to Lydia Horning of Shambaugh, Ia., Mar. 24, 1891. She preceded him to the spirit world Mar. 3, 1902. On Mar. 4, 1905, he was united in marriage to Sarah Beutler of Wakarusa, Ind. To this union was born 1 son, Edwin. He united with the Mennonite Church in the prime of life and remained true to his faith until death. He was an earnest worker in Sunday school, serving as superintendent for many years. He was a member of the local mission board for the state of Illinois and approved of the aggressive work of the Church along the line of missions. He served the public in the capacity of school teacher in Livingstone Co. for 28 years. His last term was taught in 1899. Since then the greater part of his time was spent on the farm. The deceased met death through an accident caused by a loaded wagon passing over his body sustaining injuries that caused his sudden and unexpected death. He leaves to mourn his loss a heart broken wife, 1 son, Edwin, 2 sisters, Mrs. Veronica Skinner of Cullom, Ill., and Mrs. Esther Finnelson of Basset, Neb., 2 brothers, David of Pendes, Neb., and John of Cullom, Ill. The Church has lost a faithful member, the neighborhood a worthy friend, the family a loving husband and a devoted father, and the cause of truth and right a most faithful advocate. The funeral services were held at the Cullom Mennonite Church on Mar. 6, 1915, conducted by Bro. A. H. Leaman of the Chicago Mission. Interment in Sullivan Center Cemetery.

From your old familiar place,
We do not hear your footsteps
Nor see your smiling face."
