  [S927] Obituary. Michael Showalter died at his home near Harrison burg, Va., Oct. 18, 1905; aged 74 Y., 8 M., 3 D. His health had not been good for several yeas, but he was able to go about until on the 17th inst., when he was found unconscious in his bed, he having been paralyzed. In this condition he remained till he died. Bro. Showalter had been a member of the Mennonite church for many years. He adorned his profession by his life and walked humbly before his God. He was very much interested in the welfare of the church and labored for the furtherance of the cause of Christ. He manifested a great interest in the spiritual welfare of his children and lived to see all of them in the church of his choice. We believe he was at peace with all men, and died in the hope of a glorious resurrection. He was the father of six sons and five daughters. All have grown to manhood and womanhood, he being the first one of the family to be called away. He leaves to mourn their loss, besides eleven children, an aged widow and a number of grandchildren. He was buried near the Weaver M. H. on the 20th, where funeral services were conducted by D.S. Brunk of Elida, Ohio, E.J. Berky of Auburn, Va., and L. J. Heatwole, from Rev. 14:13.
