    Obituary
    • HOLTER.--In Liberty, Tap.Centre Co., Pa., May 23, 1892, Magdalena Holter aged 65 years, 9 months and 22 days. She was the widow of Pre. Henry N. Holter, who died about five years ago. Deceased, since the death of Bro. Holter, has made her home in the family of Christian Holter, where they had lived for many years. Of eight children, six remain to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother. Two brothers and one sister still survive her; five brothers and two sisters having passed over the river. There were twenty-seven grandchildren, all but three of whom are yet living. Mother Holter (as she was called in the community) was a wonderful sufferer. For about forty years she had been afflicted. The last ten of these so extreme were her sufferings that no pen can picture or tongue can tell what she endured. And only those who were intimately acquainted, and visited her during these years can imagine what she had to endure. She was a consistent member of the Mennonite church for over forty years, and was truly a model of patience during her afflictions, ever trusting in the rich promises of God's Word, and looking forward to that peaceful rest that remains only for the people of God. She died in the triumphs of a living faith, and was followed to the grave in the Schenck cemetery near Howard, by a very large concourse of people. She had been very kindly cared for by the family with whom she resided, and especially by her daughter Rosa, who was always by her side to render such assistance as was necessary to her wants. Funeral services were held at the house by Pre. N. B. Smith of the M. E. church, assisted by Pre. F. L. Bardens of the Baptist church. Text, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this life are not to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed unto us. May we who survive prepare to meet her in heaven. H. T.
