He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his departure; but we hopetheir loss is his eternal gain. This aged brother was a member of the Mennonite church, and a defender of the truth. Most of the time for three months he was confined to bed, but bore his affliction with christian patience and resignation. We believe that he made a happy transition into that celestial abode, and is now resting from all his labors, where pain and affliction are known no more. Funeral remarks were delivered by Christian Cul, Abraham Steiner and Christian P.Steiner from Rev. 14:13. D. BOESINGER.
