JUNIOR CHRIS WYSE

Junior Chris Wyse was born near Stryker, Ohio, April 22, 1921. At the age of 14 he gave his life to Christ as his Lord and Saviour and accepted the right hand of fellowship in the Mennonite Church to which he has contributed in many ways to express his deep convictions and faith.

On Nov. 25, 1943, he was united in marriage to Donna Lugbill. God blessed their union with three children. His family has always been the object of his deepest devotion.

His smile and optimistic outlook will be greatly missed in the circle of his friends, fellow-churchmen, and co-workers. His concern has been that the others might know the joy and peace of Christian living.

He leaves us all with a challenge for faithfulness to our Lord, but most of all the challenge is for young men of his own age and responsibility to accept the opportunities of being a loving "daddy" to their own family and children.

He leaves to mourn their loss his faithful wife, Donna Lugbill Wyse; three children, Marcia, Karlin, and Candice; His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wyse; three brothers Mahler, Warren and Marion; and a host of relatives and friends.
