. . .
— Death took one of the widely known pioneers of the Newton-Goessel community at about 12:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon when the aged P. P. Unruh, 86, passed away at his home on 404 East Ninth street. A man of wide experience and interests, he made many friends in Newton among whom were many business men. Steadfast in his faith in the Scriptures, with undaunted zeal, he never hesitated to state his convictions. Many will miss him, including members of the Herald office where he was a frequent and interesting visitor. Death was due to a cold and complications which set in about two weeks ago. A son, Rev. H. T. Unruh of Bluffton, Ohio, was on the way to his sick-bed, but failed to arrive before the father passed away. Other sons survivng are Rev. P. H. Unruh, elder of the Alexanderwohl church, and John W. Unruh of Newton; and three daughters, the Misses Gussie and Lois of Newton, and Mrs. Carl Schmidt of Goessel. Funeral services will be held at the Alexanderwohl church Friday afternoon. The Review extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
