Tilman McDowell, died suddenly at her home near Markham, Ont., Nov. 12, 1927, in her 66th year. Deceased was married in 1881 and about three years later was converted and united with the Mennonite Church. She was of a quiet, amiable disposition, and in a rare degree possessed those sterling Christian qualities which find expression in ministering to those in need. She suffered from heart weakness for nearly a year. She passed in an attack. She is survived by her husband (who has been afflicted for about 16 years), three sons (Edwin, Wesley, Allan), their wives, and 12*grandchildren. The funeral was conducted at the Wideman Church near Markham, Ont., on the 14th by L.W. Hoover and L.J.Burkholder. "One by one our loved ones slowly Pass beyond the bounds of time One by one among the holy Sing the victor's song sublime. One by one we soon shall gather Not as we have gathered here Bowed and broken; but the rather In eternal youth appear."
