“Musselman: – On the 26th of March near Coopersburg, Lehigh Co., Pa., Eld. Jonas Musselman, aged 46 years, 4 months, and 14 days. He was buried on Coopersburg Cemetery on the 8th followed by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances. He died triumphant in the faith. We deeply feel our loss yet we would submissively say: “What the Lord has done, is well done.” Eld. A Kauffman conducted the services at the house and Eld. Wm. Gehman at the church. Text 2 Tim iv: 7,8.
Wm. Gehman”
