WISE.-On the 24th of January, 1890, near Wayland, Henry county, Iowa, Lydia, widow of John Wise (who preceded her 7 years ago), aged 43 years, 2 months and 14 days. She leaves a deeply bereaved family of 5 children, the oldest being 18 years and the youngest 9, without father and mother. Her aged father, Christian Schands of Fulton county, Ohio, came to see her a few days before her death, but she was unable to speak with him, but gave evidence that she knew him. She was a sister in the Amish Mennonite church. We feel that we have lost one of our prayerful beloved members, one who was beloved by all who knew her, but resting on the promises of the Lord, we believe that our loss is her eternal gain. She was buried on the 16th in the church grave-yard, near Wayland. Funeral services by S. Gerig and S. T. Miller in German and B. Eicher in English.
