He was preceded in death by 2 infant daughters, one granddaughter, a brother and a sister. He was a farmer all his life, and operated a stall in a Philadelphia Farmers' Market for 45 years. His quiet support was appreciated by the ordained brethren of his church and many friends. Funeral services were held Jan. 3 at the Salford Mennonite, in charge of Elias Landis assisted by Rein Alderfer, Henry Ruth, and John Lapp. Burial was made in the adjoining cemetery
