Mellinger.--Mary Z. Mellinger, wife of Jesse K. Mellinger passed peacefully away Friday June 2, 1922, at her home near Lancaster, Pa. She was born Sept. 2, 1891; aged 30 y, 9 m. She was a daughter of Abram and Rebecca (Zimmerman) Diffenbach. Early in her life she saw need of a Savior, accepted her Christ and united with Mellinger's Mennonite Church where she served and worshipped her Master faithfully. She is survived by her deeply bereaved husband and four children, namely, Paul, Walter, Dorothy and Rebecca as well as father, mother, four sisters, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends. She was a kind and loving mother and ever ready with that smile that cheers your heart and always anxious to do an act of kindness for some one. We have the blessed assurance that her soul is at rest with the redeemed awaiting the summons for her eternal reward. Funeral services were held at Mellinger's Mennonite Church, Sunday afternoon, June 4, conducted by Jacob Mellinger, Sanford Landis, David Landis and John Mosemann. Text, Prov. 3:17; Rev. 22; Lam. 3:32, 33. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
