Henry ReemsnHder

Death has called home another
well-known citizen, Henry Reemsny-
der. He reached the ripe age of 81
years, 8 months and days. The
closing of his more than "four-score
years" brought to him much suffer
ing and weary waiting for the end.
The service was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. West, in Trinity Luther
an Church, on Sunday afternoon.
Henry Reemsnyder selected his
funeral text years ago and told his
life's story about as follows:
He was born miles north of Can
ton, Ohio, on March 4, 1886. His
father John R. Reemsnyder, came
from Lancaster, Pa, to Ohio, settling
near New Berlin in the spring of
1884, following the occupation of
farmer, carpenter and undertaken.
The grandfather, Henry Reemsnyder,
came to this country from Altoona,
near Hamburg, Germany, in 1855,
and settled on farm IN Berks Coun-
ty, Pa, Here he lived until the out
break of the Revolution. He enlisted
twice and was wounded in the battle
of Brandywine.
Henry Reemsnyder was baptised in
infancy When seventeen he attend
ed catechetical instruction and in the
fall of 1853 was received into the
Reformed church by the Rev. Her
bruck.
On the 18th day q March, 1856
he was married to Miss Catherine
Kreiner, in New Berlin, Ohio. Six
children were born to bless this hap
py union; namely, CIetus Oliver (de-
ceased), Otto Henry (deceased),
Cora Amelia (Stoner), Harver Err,
Isea Ann (Gosser) and Verna May.
During his stay in Canton, he helped
to organize the First English Reform
ed congregation and to build church
the same year.
tendent and teacher in the Sunday
Scnool and has ever since, when able
taken an active interest in this branch
of church work
He moved to Hays, Kansas in the
spring of 1878 Finding no church
of his creed, he at once joined the
LutheranS, few in number, to organ
iZe and build a church. Some years
later, when Rev. Killinger was pastor.
he was instrumental in organizing a
congregation seven miles north of
Hays When the Lutheran church
of Hays had been reduced to ashes
in 1902, he again helped both with
money and labor in the erection of
the new church. In the course of his
life he was a member of five different
organizations and for two thirds of
that time has been a church officer
He has been a faithful member and
officer of Trinity Lutheran Church,
of Hays.
We shall miss our brother very
much. He had been with US for
many years and made himself indes-
pensible to the church by his interest
and helpfulness. We all extend our
heartiest sympathy to the bereaved
family.
We wish to thank all our friends
and neighbors for their kindness to
US during our bereavement.
