Baumgardner.-Bro. Oliver, only son of Lewis and Mary Eash Baumgardner, was born in Cambria Co., Pa., May 24, 1886; died at the Windber Hospital of peritonitis, Oct. 28, 1930; aged 44 y. 5 m. 4 d. He was married to Bessie Buettman, to which union was born one daughter. A number of years ago he was baptized and received into the Mennonite Church, but he failed to take communion and an active part in the Church. He was taken seriously sick just a little more than a week before he died. He was taken to the Windber Hospital near his home, where five physicians did all they could to aid him. When he saw the end approaching, he desired reconciliation and communion, which was administered. He is survived by his wife, one child, father, mother, one sister, and many other mourning relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted in the home by W.W. Hall, S.G. Shetler, and D.G. Baumgardner. In the Weaver Church, S.G. Shetler spoke on the subject, Expectation, based on Jer!
. 29:11. Appropriate remarks were made by D.G. Baumgardner and W.W. Hall. The remains were laid away in the Weaver Cemetery.
