He will long be remembered as a loving husband, a devoted and sympathetic father, and brother in Church. He will be sadly missed by his companion and family of 4 daughters, 2 sons, 34 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. Funeral services were conducted in the home and at the Towamencin Church near Kulpsville, Pa., by Bros. Warren Moyer and William Anders. Text, Phil 1: 23. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
"Father, thou hast left us lonely,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal,
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
There in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."
