About Simon E. Graybill
Birth: 1873 Death: 1941
GOSPEL HERALD - Vol. XXXIV, No . 32 - November 6, 1941 - pg 679
Graybill.-Simon E., son of the late Wm. and Elizabeth (Shelley) Graybill, was born in Juniata Co.,Pa., April 21, 1873; passed away at his home in Dakota, Ill., Oct. 22, 1941; aged 68 y. 6 m. 1 d. He grew to manhood in the state of his birth. On Jan. 4, 1900 he was united in marriage to Anna Sieber, also of Juniata County. Soon after their marriage they came to Stephenson Co., Ill., to make their future home. To this union 4 children were born: Mary (Mrs. Paul Wert) of McAlisterville, Pa.; Paul and William of Dakota, and James, who passed away in infancy. Mrs. Graybill passed away Feb. 26, 1910. He was married again to Lucy Mishler of Clarksville, Mich. To this union 4 children were born: Lois (Mrs. Eldon Shank) of Sterling; Olive (Mrs. Willard Gingerich) of Freeport; Verna, at home; and Floyd, who passed away in infancy. He is survived by his wife, 6 children, 11 grandchildren, 1 sister (Mrs. Jacob Lauver of Cocolamus, Pa.) and 4 brothers: Clayton of Martinsburg, William and John of Richfield, Pa., and Eli of Thompsontown, Pa. At the age of 21 he confessed Christ as his personal Saviour and was admitted into the fellowship of the Lauver Mennonite Church by water baptism, Bishop Isaac Eby officiating. Soon after his conversion he felt the call to Christian service, and, on Sept. 27, 1903 he was ordained a minister of the Gospel. He served as assistant pastor to Bishop J. S. Shoemaker until his passing away in Feb., 1936. Since then he served as the regular pastor of the Freeport congregation. He served this congregation as a minister for thirty-eight years. An anniversary program was prepared to be given on Sept. 28. Failing health did not permit him to be present at the services, but the program was carried out according to his wishes. A. C. Good spoke of his life and work on that occasion. The congregation presented him with a very generous purse as an expression of appreciation of the service given in the thirty-eight years. His chief interests were in the local congregation but he was also interested in the activities of the church at large. He was a regular attendant at the district conferences, as well as of the General Conference of the church. For the last year and a half he was in failing health. About a year ago he submitted to an operation which gave him temporary relief. He suffered much during the last year, but manifested a wonderful degree of patience and submission to the will of the Lord. All the medical skill and the tender care of his family was of no avail, and on Oct. 22, 1941 he peacefully passed away. Funeral services were held from the home on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 1:30 and at 2:00 p.m. at the Freeport Mennonite Church. Services were in charge of Bishop A.C. Good, assisted by Bros. H. R. Schertz of Metamora, and A. H. Leaman of Chicago.
