Mishler - On the 25th of January, at Nappanee, Elkhart county, Ind, David Mishler, aged 27 years, 5 months and 2 days.
He and another man were at work in the woods of Daniel Yoder about 2 miles west of town. They cut down a sycamore tree that stood close to a basswood and when the sycamore started to fall one of its limbs caught the basswood and took it along part way down until the limb broke and left the basswood fly back, throwing the limb on the unfortunate man's head, causing instant death.
He was buried on the 29th at South Union. Funeral services were held at the Amish meeting-house, at Nappanee, by Jonathan Smucker and David Burkholder. The funeral was largely attended.
He leaves a deeply bereaved widow and two little children.
His parents live near Ligonier, Ind, and are members of the Amish church when they received the dispatch the mother was so shocked that she was unable to attend the funeral. What troubled the parents most was that he had not given his heart to Jesus. This should be a warning to such that are yet out of the ark of safety waiting for a more convenient season.
