Horsch.-On Jan. 1, 1896 of nervous prostration, Sister Margarette Barbara Horsch, aged 66 years, 10 months and 20 days. Buried on the 4th in the Mennonite Cemetery. Services conducted by John Nice and J.S. Shoemaker. Text Heb. 4:0 and Isa. 41:10. She leaves a husband and an only daughter to mourn their loss, but their loss is, we hope, her eternal gain. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite church and an exemplary Christian since her childhood. She was an invalid and sorely afflicted for many years, but bore her affliction patiently saying "Lord, Thy will be done, not mine." Christ was the Rock of her salvation, and her longing was to depart and be with Him, which is far better.
There remaineth therefore a rest,
Yes, unto the people of God;
Prepared for those who Christ hath blest,
And who in all His ways have trod.
Our sister had longed for this rest,
And waited to be wafted away;
But, "just as our Father sees best,"
"His will be done," she would say.
In mercy the Messenger came,
And called her to mansions of rest;
There to praise Christ's excellent name,
And join in the songs of the blest.
