WILLIAM HARMS
William Harms was born near Whitewater, Kan., on March 29, 1902 to J. J. and Anna Ewert Harms, and died on May 25, 1964, at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
He grew up in th local community where he obtained his schooling. On May 15, 1921, he was baptized upon his confession of faith by Rev. G. N. Harms and joined the Grace Hill Mennonite Church, of which he remained a life-long member.
On Aug. 29, 1930, he was married to Marie Harms. To this union were born two children, a son, Myron, and a daughter, Mary Beth.
He derived great satisfaction from his farming and found much joy in his family. Always a loyal church member, he served the Grace Hill fellowship in many capacities, such as mission treasurer, member of the building committee, custodian, and, at the time of his death, as a member of the church board.
Since childhood he had had a rheumatic heart, and complications from this condition culminated in his death in Kansas City where he had gone for treatment.
Not only his family, but the whole Grace Hill fellowship will miss the quiet, loyal support and friendship of William Harms.
In addition to his widow, Marie, and children, Myron of Freeman, S. D., and Mary Beth of Hutchinson, Kan., he is survived by his mother of rural Whitewater, two brothers, Edwin of Burns, and Gilbert of Wichita; and two sisters, Helen (Mrs. Isaac Harms) of rural Whitewater, and Elma (Mrs. Clarence Wilmot) of Wichita.
His father, J. J. Harms, and his brother Harold preceded him in death.
For Bro. Harms, the momentary shadows of the dark valley of death have dispersed and his life has opened upon the glorious sunrise of heaven's morn.
