Metzler - Miriam DeEtta, oldest daughter of Ralph and viola Metzler, was born Jan 18, 1918; died June 17, 1939; aged 21 y, 5 m.
She gave her heart to the Lord when a child and united with the Mennonite Church, having her member ship with the Yellow Creek congregation where she remained faithful until death. While in her junior year at high school she became afflicted with tuberculosis and was confined to a Sanitarium for nearly three years, where she was tenderly cared for but her weakened condition continued without abatement. The Lord kept her in perfect peace and enabled her to bear her suffering with fortitude. Because of her happy disposition and affectionate ways she made many friends and scattered sunshine wherever she went. Her presence made the world a happier place in which to live. She took great pleasure in reading her Bible and testified to the mercies of God.
She leaves father, mother, 3 sisters (Berdean, Mrs Walter Wogomon; Rosealene and Norma Jane at home), her aged grandparents (Mr and Mrs S S Metzler and Mr and Mrs S R Hoover), 1 great-grandfather (Minister C K Curtis), and many other relatives and friends.
To all of these, heaven is a little nearer because Miriam is there. She is missed, yet we know that God's way is the best way and we shall meet her again.
One sister (Lois Berneta) preceded her in death about 15 years ago.
Funeral services were held June 18. The services at the house were in charge of Bro A B Yoder (of the M B C church) and at the Yellow Creek Church by Bro R F Yoder.
"Dear Miriam, you are not forgotten,.
Though on earth you are no more;
Still in memory you are with us,
As you always were before."
