Notes

From Gospel Herald, May 1921:

Hoover. - Christopher Hoover was born in York Co., Ont., April 22, 1844; died in South Cayuga of general weakness April 21, 1921; aged 77 years, less one day. His wife and one son preceded him in death. He leaves 3 daughters (Nancy, Mary, and Mrs. Robert Smith) and a grandchild, also a son-in-law, all living on the old homestead. He also leaves a brother, a sister, and a large number of relatives. He was converted in his youth and joined the Mennonite Church. He was ordained a deacon and served faithfully in that capacity for over 35 years. He has been failing in health for some years, but was able to get around some, attending a Sunday school conference at Vineland a few weeks ago. Two weeks ago he took a spell while on business in town, and had to be brought home. A trained nurse was secured to care for him, but he calmly fell asleep after calling his family together and bidding them goodbye. He had no fear of death and had a strong desire to depart. We miss our parents, but will try to meet them in a better world. Services conducted by Bro. S. F. Coffman of Vineland, Ont. Text, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

"Weep not for me - I am free from pain;
My earthly suffering is o'er;
I hope to meet you all again
On that bright, happy shore."
