METZLER.-On the 22d of March, in Mahoning Co., Ohio, of consumption, Joel Metzler, aged 51 years, 4 months and 29 days. Interment at the Metzler M.H. on the 24th where services were conducted by David Hostetter from Job 14:14, assisted by Allen Rickert. Bro. Metzler was confined to his bed only about one week, and had, prior to that time, given explicit directions in regard to conducting his funeral, choosing his pall bearers, undertaker, etc., and forbidding display at the burial. He was conscious to the last moment and had waited patiently but longingly for the final summons that called him home, fully realizing that it is not so important when as how we leave this world to meet the change. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his departure, but not as those who have no hope, for he left with them the assurance that he was ready and waiting for the change. His funeral was largely attended.
