FUNERAL OF Mase. CHRISTIAN
EmurnR.—The community of Ethel
was shocked when the sad news
reached here last Thursday that Mrs,
Christian Eckmier had passed away
in the General Hospital, Stratford,
Doctors had done all that could be
done, and after consultation, it was
decided to operate for goitre, she
being quite willing to submit to any-
thing for the best. To use her own
words, "Whatever the Lord Sees fit,
I ata ready to submit to, and all will
be well." Deceased was born in
mot Township in 1860 and came with
her parents to Grey Township in 1861,
She was married -to her now bereft
husband January 4th, 1882, They
lived on their farm adjoining Ethel,
which came to be known as the
"Eckmier Farm". In 1917 it was
Bold to Harvey Dobson, and they
moved into the village. Mrs. Eckmier
was a very faithful member of the
Methodist Church and she will be
greatly missed in Sunday School,
League and W. M. S. Societies, her
seat being seldom vacant, Funeral
took place in the Methodist Ohurnh at
two o'clock where a large congrega-
tion had gathered, showing the esteem
in which Mrs, Ecktnier was held,
Rev, Harold White, B. A., B. D.
preached on the words of Penh"' am
ready to be offered up", and many
parallels were drawn viz,—He looked
within and there was perfect peace ;
He looked backwards, no regrets ; He
looked forward, bright anticipations,
