Church Worker Called by Death

Orrville, Ohio.—Funeral services were held at the Salam [sic Salem] Mennonite church near Dalton April 4 for Mrs. Susan Hilty Diller, wife of Amos C. Diller of Orrville. She died at a local hospital April 2 at the age of 80. The services were in charge of Rev. A. J. Neuenschwander, Wadsworth.

A native of the Bluffton-Pandora community, Mrs. Diller and her husband came here 26 years ago. She was an active church worker most of her life, serving as a Sunday school teacher for over 50 years, as women's missionary society leader and member of the WCTU. Her husband founded the Orrville Tile company, now operated by two sons.

Besides her husband, she is survived by four step-sons and three step daughters, and five brothers.
