MRS. SARAH REIMER

Mrs. Sarah Reimer was born Oct. 5, 1889 in Newton, Kansas to Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Fast. She moved with her parents to Dallas, Oregon on early childhood, and the family resided here a few years. They then moved to Washington and it was there that she received her schooling and grew up. It was also there that she was baptized on the confession of her faith on Feb. 5, 1911, at the Menno Mennonite church.

In 1914, the father having passed away some years earlier, the family moved back to Dallas to live.

On Dec. 13, 1915, she was married to David Reimer. They farmed in the Dallas area throughout their married life. They joined the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren church in 1931, and Mrs. Reimer remained a faithful member until the time of her death.

During the last few weeks Mrs. Reimer suffered greatly, but she was released from that suffering and taken into the presence of the Lord on Monday, Nov. 23. She reached the age of 70 years.

Survivors include her husband, David Reimer; two daughters, Mrs. Arnie Buller and Mrs. Clarence Bowman, both of Dallas; three sons, Ernest, Paul and Herman, all of Dallas; two sons-in-law, three daughters-in-law; 12 grandchildren; three brothers, Cornelius Fast and Henry Fast, both of Dallas, and George Fast of Ritzville, Wash.; a host of relatives and friends.

Our hearts are comforted with the assurance of the blessed hope which shall bring us together again in eternal blessing in the presence of the eternal God. — The Family.
