OBITUARY

Mishler. - Samuel Mishler was born July 8, 1847; died at the home of his son near Johnstown, Pa., April 26, 1928; aged 80 yr. 9 m. 18 d. He had visitors during the day, therefore he did not take his usual sleep after the noon meal. The next morning the family concluded to let him rest. When they looked they found him in the embrace of death. He had said during the day that he wished he could fall asleep when his end came. HIs wife, Sara Yoder Mishler, and two children preceded him in death. He is survived by six daughters, two sons, fourteen grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and two brothers. One sister died eight days after his death. Funeral services were conducted in the home by S. G. Shetler and in the Stahl Mennonite Church of which he was a member for many years by S. G., who used the text, "I will both lay me down and sleep." Very appropriate additional remarks were made by W. C. Hershberger. Though many roads were drifted so badly that some people could not come, yet not all could get into the church. The remains were laid to away in the Stahl Cemetery.
