REV. PETER NISSLY DEAD.
A Prominent Minister of the Old Mennonite Church Passes Away.
  Rev. Peter Nissly, of East Donegal, died at his home at three o'clock 
this morning of heart failure.  His death was very sudden, and the 
intelligence will be sad news for a large circle of relatives and 
friends.  When he retired on Wednesday evening he was in his usual 
health, and until a few moments before he expired gave no indication of 
being ill.  The deceased was a prominent minister in the Old Mennonite 
Church, and officiated in that capacity for fifty-three years.  For 
more than sixty years he was a consistent member in this denomination, 
and his many sterling qualities had made him hosts of friends in and 
out of the church.  The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock on Monday 
morning at the house, and at 10 o'clock at Graybill's meeting house.
