Souder. - Bro. Christian G. Souder was born March 15, 1853; died in Souderton, Pa., June 8, 1917; aged 64 y. 2 m. 23 d. He died of *uraemia, of which he has been suffering for the past seven years, and more seriously the last four years. But during all the affliction he studied the Word diligently, and tried to be submissive to His will. Beside the sorrowing widow he is survived by one daughter, one son, five grandchildren, two brothers, one step-brother, one step-sister, and many other relatives and friends. One daughter preceded him in death. Funeral services were held June 12 at the home of the son-in-law, and at the Souderton Mennonite Church, where he had been a faithful member for many years. Bros. Jacob M. Moyer and Abram Clemmer conducted the services, using Rev. 21:4 as a text. Burial in adjoining cemetery.
"When family circles break,
It certainly causes tears;
Where Jesus is the corner-stone,
He drives away all fears."
Transcriber's note : *uraemia typed as written.
