			text of obituary:

			HENRY PETER KREHBIEL was born April 13, 1862, in Summerfield, Illinois, the third son of Rev. Christian and Susanna Ruth Krehbiel. At the age of 13 he was baptized in the Mennonite faith as a member of the Summerfield church. At the age of 16 he came to Kansas with his older brother John and broke prairies around Halstead. He attended the State Normal and State University and taught school some, but soon engaged in the hardware business in Halstead, Kans. On Nov. 21, 1887, he married Miss Tillie Kruse, to which union two children were born, Elva, now Mrs. E. E. Leisy of Dallas, Texas, and Ariel who died in infancy.

			In 1892 Mr. Krehbiel felt the call to the ministry, and with his family went to Oberlin Seminary, Ohio, where he graduated in 1897, serving in the meantime churches at Wadsworth and Canton, O., he also edited a paper, became active in the Middle District Conference and helped establish Bluffton College. By 1900 he returned to Kansas to organize and manage the Western Book and Publishing Company which published the “Volksblatt” and later “der Herold.” Later his brother C. E. joined him in this enterprise, and in 1920 he founded the Herald Publishing Company which he served as president until 1935.

			In 1906 he organized the Burrton Mennonite church and served as its pastor for thirty years. He held many posts of responsibility in the Mennonite church to which he gave his untiring devotion. He was secretary of the Middle District Conference and of the Home Mission Board of the General Conference; chairman of the Peace committee, a member of the Bethel College Board of directors, of the Mennonite Historical committee, and established the Mennonite Settlers Aid society. He completed volumes I and II of a History of the Mennonite General Conference.

			The subject of peace was dear to his heart. In 1937 he published “War, Peace, Amity," a book in which he stressed his belief that the world would attain peace only through Christian love. His research for a study of the denominations historically espousing peace took him and his wife in 1927 on a journey around the world. He was instrumental in bringing about an organization of the historic peace churches, and at his death was a member of the Western District Peace committee.

			Rev. Krehbiel delighted in helping others. He was a member of the Leisy Orphan and Children’s Aid society and of the Mennonite Charite. He secured aid for Mennonite refugees in Harbin, China, and in Mexico. During the World War he worked unceasingly for liberty of conscience, making numerous trips to Washnigton [''sic''], D. C. and to boys interned in camps. He helped organize missions in Chicago, in Los Angeles and in Hutchinson, Kansas. He had a wide vision and an unwavering Christian faith.

			Five years after the death of his wife in 1931, Rev. Krehbiel on Nov. 26, 1936, married Miss Katie A. Friesen, who survives. He passed away on Dec. 2, 1940, having attained the age of 78 years, 7 months, and 19 days.
			Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, Dec. 5, at the First Mennonite Church, with the Revs. J. N. Smucker, J. E. Entz, A. J. Dyck and J. J. Regier in charge.
