- (Research):Gospel Herald - Volume XV, Number 36 - December 7, 1922, page 703 Schisler. - Rhetta Delena, daughter of Bro. William F. and Sister Selena Schisler, passed away to her eternal rest at the home of her parents at Vineland, Ont., on Oct. 23, 1922. One of twin daughters, she was born in Haldimand County, Ont., December 13, 1894. From her childhood her mild and loving disposition endeared her to all, and her sincere nature and earnestness in desiring to do what was right determined the character of the life which she always lived. Early in youth she gave her life into the service of Christ, uniting with the Mennonite Church in which she was a consistent and active member until the time of her death. An active worker in the Church she was engaged in Sunday School work and took a leading part in the young peoples, meetings and in all of the spiritual interest of her society. She loved the service of Christ and was loved and respected by all who knew her and came in contact with her life. When afflicted by her fatal malady, acute diabetes, she was patient and cheerful and faced the final event calmly and resignedly. She had gained the victory over death. She is greatly missed in her home, in which parents and three sisters remain and missed in the circle of her associates in the Church and in the neighborhood. As a token of the esteem in which she was held, an exceptionally large congregation met for the funeral services which were held on Oct. 25, when appropriate services were held at the home and the church for the comfort and edification of all. Services were conducted by S. F. Coffman assisted by Wm. Brown of the M. B. C. Church. The text used was I Cor. 15:19, 20.
