For a number of years he suffered from heart trouble. This winter he was not very well, but was not confined to his bed. He got up from his chair, walked a few steps, and fell on the floor, thus passing away. This union was blessed with 2 daughters and 2 sons: Mrs. Vallie Gerber, Bayfield, Ont.; Mrs. Moses Gerber, Zurich, Ont.; Aaron on the old homestead; and Edmund of St. Agatha, Ont. These children with his wife survive. Funeral services were held at the home conducted by Bro. Peter Boshart and at the church in charge of Christian Schrag in English and Daniel H.
