"Abraham Mast was born in Walnut Creek Twp., Holmes Co., Ohio, Jan. 1st, 1821; died of heart disease, June 8, 1898; aged 77 years, 5 months and 7 days.
His father Jacob Mast, of German descent, was born in Somerset Co., Pa. In 1812 he removed his family to Ohio and entered a quarter section of land in what is now Walnut Creek Twp. On this farm Abraham was born and reared. He early took an active part in the af-fairs of the Amish Church, having been ordained to the ministry when but 27 years of age and served the Church in that capacity until the messenger of death relieved him of duty. Years ago, when the Sunday school was yet in its infancy and confronted by many difficulties and oppositions, his influence and instrumentality succeeded, by much fervent prayer, and meditating upon God's word, in establishing a Sunday school at this place, which noble institutions throughout the land are leading many young souls to seek and live a life that is becoming to God and man. His death was very sudden and unexpected, having had but very few attacks of sickness in his lifetime. The sickness at the time of his death lasted but a few moments. After his daily routine on Tuesday evening, June 7, he retired as usual in good spirits, ris-ing the next morning complaining with a little cough and short breathing, which seemed to increase and in less than an hour he lay a silent corpse. Thus passed away another one of God's servants to his reward. Oh! may but his prayers and admonitions that he so diligently offered for the souls of men and the future welfare of the Church have rooted in the lowest depth of human hearts and bear fruit abundantly.
Many preachers have favorite pas-sages in Scripture, which they frequently quote from the pulpit. Will quote a few of his: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies." "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
On June 2d, 1811, he was united in marriage with Anna Beachy. Lived in matrimony 57 years and 6 days. To this union were born eight sons and ten daughters of whom one son, two daughters, twenty-two grandchildren and eight great grandchildren preceded him to eternity. He leaves an aged and devoted widow, fifteen children, one hundred and one grand children, seventy great-grandchildren and many friends to mourn his departure.
His remains were laid to rest in the Walnut Creek cemetery, June 11, fol-lowed by a large concourse of people. Funeral services were conducted by J. H. Miller, Fred Mast and Nobart Sprohl. Text, 2 Tim, 4:5 -8."

"Mrs. John Dineen
"Passed Away at the Family Home in Stockton This Morning
"Mrs. John Dineen, who had lived in this county since girlhood, died at the family home, about two miles from Arnott, at 5 o'clock this morning. Four days ago she had a severe attack of heart trouble, with which she had at different times suffered somewhat, but the announcement this morning that she had passed away came as a great surprise to her sister, Mrs. Peter Kelly of this city. Mrs. Kelly visited her sister Monday and when she came away towards night Mrs. Dineen appeared to be somewhat better and quite comfortable.
"Kate Moore was born at Akron, Ohio, Nov. 1, 1856, and therefore was in the 51st year of her age. The family moved to this county when she was a small child and she had lived here ever since. Twenty-seven years ago last May she was married to John Dineen at St. Stephen's church in this city. Besides her husband, who is one of Stockton's most respected residents, she leaves four sons and two daughters. The children are Mrs. Timothy Leary of Stockton and Raymond, charles, Cecily, Dan and Thomas, the last named five living at home. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother. Mrs. Wm. Feehly of Stockton, Mrs. Peter Kelly of this city and Thomas Moore of Rhinelander. Mrs. Dineen was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her and to her many friends the announcement of her unexpected death will come as a great shock."

"Stutzman.-Amanda, daughter of Abraham and Anna (Beachy) Mast, was born Dec. 20, 1863, in Holmes Co., Ohio; died at the home of her daughter (Mrs. D. J. Schweitzer, near Wood River, Neb.), July 6, 1939; aged 75 y. 6 m. 16 d. She united with the Mennonite Church at the age of 14, in which faith she died. On Jan. 13, 1880, she was married to Stephen Stutzman. They were blessed with 1 daughter and 1 son. She is survived by her daughter (Laura Schweitzer, Wood River) and son (Ralph, San Mateo, Calif.), 10 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers and 2 sisters (Joas Mast, Lydia Miller, and Malinda Miller, Holmes Co., Ohio; and David Mast of Little River, Kans.), and a host of relatives and friends. Her husband, 7 brothers, and 6 sisters preceded her in death. She had been failing in health several years and was bedfast two weeks. The cause of her death was anemia. Her lingering illness she bore with patience, and her cheerful disposition was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact. The family keenly feels the loss of a devoted and loving mother and grandmother. Life does not end thus, for it will live in influence and in memory, and becomes real to those who pass from this world into the life to come. Funeral services were held at the home, and at the Wood River Mennonite Church by Bros. A. E. Stoltzfus and Joe Zimmerman. Text, Dan. 12:2. Interment in adjoining cemetery."
