LEONARD HOLZINGER.
Mr. Leonard Holzinger was born
Feb 1. 1916. at LelcAeaoucnl near
Ettingen, Bavaria, Germany. &c
was brought mp in Tie fotestant
faith. While very young he lost both
of his parents and had to support
himself by woi-ing out among strang-
ers. In 1854 he immigrated to this
country, soon after which he married
Miss Anna Magdalena Male. He set
tied down in Ellenboro township on
farm where he has lived ever since,
and was well known as one of the old
settlers in this part of the country
In 1858 both he and his dear wife
experienced definite change in their
religious life under the administration
of the Rev. +. Heinz, and joined the
German branch of the M. f. church,
of which he has been faithful mem

fastness. sincerity, fearlessness, hui
mility being some of the dominating
traits in his character. He seemed to
have in him something of the spirit
of old Prince Bismark, who feared no
body but God.
Although much crippled up with
rheumatism for wears and rather fee

ing was hardly ever empty, and o.
how often did he plead with his God
for his own soul, his dear ones, his
brethren and neighbors!
Recently the remainder of his
strength was remarkably failing. In
different ways he would manifest the
conviction of being very close to the
end of his life's journey, and his
friends became very much concerned
about his condition. Although his
departure could reasonably be feared
and looked for, he was summoned
hence sooner than really was expected.
After several Gays of severe illness
and great suffering the days Of his
mourning ended and be quietly passed
over into the invisible world at 1915 |
a. m, Nov. Is, 1896. in the good age
OF 50 years.
Beside his dear wife who was 50
great comfort to him in the inlirmi-
ties Of his old age he leaves two sons
and two daughters and MANY friends
to mourn his death, one daughter hay-
ing preceded him.
The funeral services took place in
the little Aupperlee church. which
proved much to small for the occasion.
From Isiah go, 70, selected by him
self, with which the minister IN charge |
combined Rev. If, 10, and addressed |
the crowded audience on the blessed
ness Of the dead who die in the Lord.
In this time Of mourning the bercayed |
have our hearty sympathy.
