Elder Joseph D. Mohler, son of Brother Henry & Sister Hannah Mohler, was born November 14, 1859 near Covington, Ohio, departed this life June 20, 1921, age 61 years, 7 mos. 6 days. He was married to Mary Warner, Nov. 20, 1879. To this union were born three children-- 1 son, 2 daughters. He leaves to mourn his departure, a loving wife, one son and two daughters and twelve grandchildren, one brother, one sister and a host of other relatives and friends. He united with the Old German Baptist church at the age of twenty years, was elected to the ministry Oct. 1892, and was ordained to the full ministry Nov. 1898 in which office he labored faithfully contending earnestly for the faith and order of the church, willing to lend a helping hand to all in need. A kind and affectionate husband, father and grandfather, neighbor and friend. His health had been failing the past few years; but his death was caused by apoplexy which came sudden, and should be a warning to all. Funeral services were held at the Sugar Grove church and burial at the Sugar Grove cemetery. Services conducted by Bro. Leander Miller of Wakarusa, Ind. and Bro. P. D. Bowman and adjoining brethren to a large audience of sympathizing relatives and friends. Text 2 Timothy 4th chap. 5-6-7-8 verses. Hymns 522, 384, 386, 425, 406. We believe he is enjoying the supreme blessing which all will enjoy who prepare for eternity in the great Beyond where sorrows, and partings never come.
