One of the most impressive funerals here was that of the late Mrs. Christian Deterling, which took place Sturday morning, Feb. 19, at 11 o’clock from St. Peter’s Evangelistical Lutheran Church, Interment in Overholt’s Cemetery, Bethel. The floral tributes were beautiful. The Rev. Martin Toewe, pastor of the church, conducted the service, taking as his text:-Hebrews 9, 27, 28. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after the judgement: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” The pall-bearers were Messrs. G. Fiedler, D. Bartz, S. Young, Andrew Kramer, Jacob Snider and Levi Snider. A very large gathering of friends and relatives showed honor and respect to the memory of the deceased. She leaves to mourn her devoted husband, and aged mother, Mrs. George Etling of Humberstone, three sons, Arthur of Humberstone, Herman of Hagersville, Ont., and William of Toronto, one daughter, Mrs. George Kramer of Humberstone; eleven grandchildren; three brothers, Alexander Etling of Lowbanks, Henry Etling of Geneva, Ill., and John Etling of Humberstone, and one sister, Mrs. George Kiehl of Hamilton, Ont.
Mr. Deterling and family desire to thank friends and neighbors for their kind help and loving sympathy during the illness, death and at the funeral service of their loved one.
