Suddenly, on the 30th of April in Annville township, Lebanon Co., Pa., Anna wife of John Bachman, aged 77 years, 9 months and 17 days. The diseased [sic]sister and her husband were members of our church. On the morning of the 30th they left home, to attend an appointed meeting for fasting and prayer; [the following day the emblems of the Lord's supper were to be administered, of which they had intended to partake, but time Lord ordered it otherwise.] In the afternoon on their return they visited a sick man, then went to their home, in usual good health. Her husband retired to rest. She sat down on her chair in the room, her son's wife heard her moan and came to her assistance, but before the family came together the vital spark had fled - the spirit had left its clayey tenement, though not without a hope. In the midst of life we are in death. 0n the 4th of May her remains were interred at Gingerich's Meeting house and a multitude of people, friends and relatives followed her to the grave, where the funeral services were held, and a discourse delivered from Mark. 13: 33. "Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is." Oh! let us fly - to Jesus fly; whose powerful arm can save! Then shall our hopes ascend on high, and triumph over the grave!
"Great God! thy sovereign grace impart, With cleansing, healing power, This only can prepare the heart, For death's surprising hour." [Herald of Truth Mennonite publication]
