He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church, and seemed to have an abiding hope in Christ. He was buried at Coventry burying ground on the 20th. He had selected for his funeral text, Phillippians 1:21 - 23. He desired that at his funeral no display should be made, but that he should have a plain burial; a request which is worthy of imitation in this day of vanity. May God comfort the bereaved family and sanctify this affliction to their salvation. Burial E Coventry Mennonite Cemetery Note: Husband of Sophia Latshaw HALTEMAN.
