			Edmund's seven years of service in Beatrice was used of God to bring to realization the dream of a community, and the fulfillment of a personal dedication. this was accomplished by the planning and erection of an entirely new hospital plant, even though faced with almost impossible complications. Only God knows the deep faith that was essential to daily follow god's guiding hand in this project. Almost all of the building was completed and equipment ordered before his death, and dedication was planned for June.

			We, as a family, like to feel that God brought this work to perfection in Edmund's lifetime by calling him Home before the inevitable imperfections of a building program were known to him. His life might be pictured in these two Bible verses, "The Lord is my strength and my shield" (Psalms 28:7) and "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw night to you" (James 4:8).

			Funeral services were held in the First Mennonite Church, Beatrice, Neb., with Rev. Harold Buller and Rev. Ralph Weber in charge. A further service was held in the Meadows Mennonite Church, Meadows, Ill., with Rev. Jacob Friesen of Bluffton, Ohio in charge, assisted by Rev. Lotus Troyer and Rev. Emanuel Ulrich.
