Home Calls
Black Earth, WI - Ed Studnicka, age 92, on February 2. He was saved at the age of 38 after a Blue River conference. Faithfulness and consistency marked his exercised life before God and men. He and his wife Grace maintained happy fellowship in the Blue River assembly, and in later years in the assembly at Black Earth. During his lingering years of illness, his daughter Diana gave him tireless care. At his funeral in Blue River, a large crowd listened to the gospel on the very lot where Ed had first heard it as a young man. All his children and many others in the family profess faith in Christ. Al Christopherson, Art Ward, and Jim Frazier shared in the funeral services.
Tassagh, Co. Armagh, NI - Herbert Joseph Withers, age 89, on February 16. Saved in 1928, he was baptized shortly thereafter and brought into the Armagh assembly. About 14 years later he and his wife moved to a smaller assembly at Tassagh, Co. Armagh, where he remained until his home call. Predeceased by his wife more than 12 years ago, his later life alone was more difficult, as his health failed, but he attended assembly meetings faithfully until a few months before his home call. He is survived by nephews and nieces, some still not saved, for whom prayer is requested. T.W. Wright and S. McBride spoke at his funeral, which was large, an indication of the high esteem in which he was held. He will be greatly missed by his relatives, the assembly, and the community.
Sault Ste. Marie, ON - Mrs. Ernie (Micklen) Sarlo. On April 4 our beloved sister passed peacefully into the Lord’s presence. She trusted Christ as her Savior at the tender age of ten. Our sister was in happy fellowship in the assembly here. She has lived a godly consistent life and was greatly loved by all who knew her. Her husband and family as well as all the believers will sadly miss her.
East Aurora, NY - Raymond Boies, age 76, on April 24. The assembly lost a valued brother and overseer by the call to glory of our brother Raymond. After a painful illness our brother passed into the presence of the Lord. He received God’s salvation in 1937 during a gospel series with Lorne McBain and William Warke. His testimony before the world and among God’s people was attested to by the large crowd gathered to pay their respects at his funeral. Ed Dougherty and James Smith shared in the funeral service. Remember in prayer his wife Mary, daughter Donna, and her family, all in assembly fellowship.
