to His Bed.

Mr.Aaron Beckhold, a loyal Christian gentleman, passed away at his home on North

a neighbor or friend.

George J.Start giving the sermon and Mr and Mrs Orville Deardorff and Mrs 
Charles Stahl and son Kenneth accompanied by Miss Stahl furnished the music. 
Burial was at Lakeside.
                                  OBITUARY
Aaron Beckhold son of Henry and Elizabeth Beckhold, was born March 13, 1869, in 
Campbell township. He died July 30, 1932, at the age of 63 years, four months, 
13 days. He was united in marriage on January 7, 1894 to Miss Anna Halling of 
Florindale, Ontario. To this union three children were born; Frank and Mrs Fred 
Berndt of Odessa township, and Charles Henry who died in infancy.

When 14 years of age he moved with his parents from Campbell township to Odessa 
township where he resided until eight years ago when he moved to Lake Odessa 
where he has since made his home.

Mr. Beckhold was stricken three and one-half years ago and was always patient 
and cheerful, believing firmly that what God doeth. He doeth right. He was 
always happy to have his friends call. He has not left his bed since March 13, 
1932.

Twelve year ago Mr.Beckhold was converted under the preaching of Rev. B.A. 
Hammond and was baptized and became a member of the East Odessa Wesleyan 
Methodist church. He was a faithful member and gave much of his means and time 
to the support and extension of the Kingdom of God.

Besides the faithful wife and son and daughter there are four grandchildren to 
mourn their loss.

He was fully  prepared to meet his Creator and in his last earthly days he made 
all plans for the services that were conducted Tuesday.

Oh, that dear one, how we loved him;
Oh, how hard to give him up.
But an angel came down for him
And removed him, from our flock.
