Mahlon, both of Telford, Pa.; L. Kraybill and Stanley K., both of Sarasota, Fla.; Iona-Mrs. Harold K.

He was active in the ministry for 34 years serving at Rockhill, near Telford, Pa. His passing was unusual in that he spoke personally with each one of the family, the 4 sons from distant states arriving the last night, at which time he requested songs and prayers, a time together long to be remembered by those present. Funeral services were held at the Rockhill Church, April 21, in charge of Clinton D. Landis, Alfred A. Detweiler, and Arthur D. Ruth. Interment in the Rockhill Cemetery.
