He was united in marriage to Miriam Clemens of Mainland in 1921, and accepted Christ the same year, in the faith of his fathers (the Mennonite Church) and was a faithful member until death. He was outstanding in patience which his disease brought on. He was gradually sinkng for several yers, and was bedfast for eight weeks after having an operation at which time specialists could give no hope for his recovery. He leaves a brokenhearted companion and 3 daughters (Dorothy, who accpepted Christ; Pearl Lena, and Melvin, Jr.) His mother and 4 brothers also survive. They had several times during his illness (cancer of the liver) outstanding experiences and enjoyable heavenly foretastes where sorrow and pain are unknown, but peace, joy, and happiness last for evermore. Funeral services were held in the Towamensin Mennonite Church, March 12, with Bros. C. W. Moyer, A. Yoder. amd Wm. Anders in charge. Text, I Thess. 4:13, 14. His remains were laid to rest in Towamencin Cemetery.
"Passing out of earth,s shadows,
Into infinite day;
Why do you call it dying,
This beautiful passing away?"
