David Z., son of the late Isaac and Esther (Zimmerman) Burkhart, was born Nov. 23, 1858, near Bowmansville, PA; died Sept. 27, 1940, at the place of his birth and lifelong residence on the old Burkhart homestead;
aged 81 y. 10 m. 4 d.

He embraced Christianity in early life. As a brother of settled convictions in his Saviour he was not merely passively interested in the affairs of the Church of his choice, but took active part in the place allotted to him by the Church. He carried a life and lip testimony against the vain display of attire.

His family life dates from Sept. 23, 1883, Mary Ann Good, also of the Bowmansville congregation who survives him, was his faithful companion through the fifty-seven years of wedded life. The Lord gave to them seven sons and three daughters: Abraham; Hettie (Twin sister and the wife of preacher A. H. Weaver); Sallie (Horst); Barton; Isaac; David; Susie (Good, died Oct. 10, 1932), Edwin; John; Paul. These, together with fifty grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren, make up the living progeny of this venerable father in Israel. One brother (Amos) survives the family.

Funeral services was held Sept. 20 in the Bowmansville Mennonite Church, his body interred in the adjoining burial ground. Bro. J. Paul Graybill had charge of services, assisted by the home ministry. Texts, Heb. 12: 9; Prov. 4: 12.
