  	Cressman.--Howard Cressman* was born near New Hamburg, Ont., April 10, 1897; died where he was born on March 12, 1927; aged 29 y 11 m. 2 d. In Dec., 1924, he was united in marriage with Sister Ida Snyder, Hespeler, Ont., to which union was born one son. Just one week previous to his death he was taken seriously ill with pleuro-pneumonia and God saw best to take him home. During his illness he suffered severely and continuously, but he bore it all much patience and Christian fortitude. At the age of 14 he accepted Christ as his personal Savior, united with the Mennonite Church, and remained a faithful member to the end. In his untimely departure he leaves a sorrowing companion, one son (Keith), father, mother, two brothers (Leander and Curtis), besides a host of relatives and friends. In the home he will be greatly missed as an affectionate companion and a loving father. In the Church his service and counsel can no longer be personally given, but we bow to our heavenly Father, and from our heart's desire to say, "Thy will be done." Funeral services were held Mar. 14, from his late home to the Bean Church, and burial in the adjoining cemetery. Brethren Ozias Cressman, Manasseh Hallman, Moses Shantz, and Oscar Burkholder conducted the services. Text, Rev. 13:14.
