Werner. - Rosetta, nee Hoover, was born in Rainham Township, Haldimand Co., Ont., Sept. 28, 1876; died at the Hospital, Hamilton, Ont., April 2, 1926, following an operation for toxic goitre, from which she suffered ill effects for about a year. She passed away in her fiftieth year. She was married to Bro. Milton Werner of the Rainham congregation June 24, 1907. She is survived by her beloved husband, five children (Catharine, Carl, John, David, and Daniel), two brothers (A. Erwin, and Jacob) and two sisters (Mrs. Minnie Mannix and Mrs. Jennie Yeager). At the age of fifteen years, Sister Werner was converted and united in Christian fellowship with the Rainham congregation, of which she was a devoted member and earnest worker. In all of the Church's activities she was most deeply interested and took an active part. She enjoyed her Christian experience and was happy in her work and labor for the Master. Her life was an inspiration to others with whom she associated and her self-sacrificing character made her a blessing to all who knew her. The Church and neighborhood will greatly miss her presence and help, but her life lives on in what she has done and in the influence for good which she has left in other's lives. It was a great joy to her that during the past year and shortly before her departure two of her children confessed faith in the Lord whom she loved and served. That which she lived for had begun to bear fruit to the glory of God. Other fruits will follow. The burial service was very largely attended on April 6, at the Rainham Church. Services were conducted by Brethren S. F. Coffman and C. F. Derstine. Interment in the Mennonite burying ground near by.
