Peter G. Neufeld

Peter G. Neufeld, aged 76 years, was laid to rest after services conducted from the First Mennonite church here Tuesday. Rev. H. H. Quinlan and Rev. I. J. Dick, pastor of the church, spoke, while a ladies' choir sang special numbers. Following the services, lunch was served in the church basement to relatives and near friends.

The deceased was born in South Russia on November 26, 1853. In 1877 he was married to his widow, who now mourns his death. Seven children, 2 sons and five daughters, were born to this union, but only one son and 1 daughter have outlived their father. In 1901 the family left Russia and came to America, making their home here in Mountain Lake, where the deceased followed the occupation of carpenter.

Since December he has complained of poor health, and during the past three weeks his condition was especially critical. Death came Sunday afternoon. The deceased reached the age of 76 years, 6 months and 2 days. He leaves to mourn his death his widow, his son George P., and family, his daughter, Mrs. John Goossen, and family, and a large circle of friends.
