Notes:
Abram B. Lutz was born April 16, 1862; died Aug. 7, 1922, at his home after an illness covering a period of a year or more, the last days on a bed of suffering and misery. Sept. 24, 1904, he was ordained as a deacon for the Kraybill and Mt. Joy churches. He was also a trustee of the Millersville Mennonite Children's Home; also was very active in church work in all its branches, and will be greatly missed. In his last days he had a strong desire to depart and be with Christ, so that he could be relieved of the pain and misery which he was enduring. He is survived by his sorrowing wife and the following children: Henry E., of near Mt Joy, Elsie E., David E., Harvey A., and Clarence E., all at home. Funeral services were held from his late home on Aug. 11, 1922, and at the Mt. Joy Mennonite church. Interment was made in Kraybill's cemetery. Services were conducted at the home by Bro. B. L. Kraybill; further services by Bros. Benj. Weaver, Isaac Brubaker, and Henry Longenecker. Text, Jno. 5:35.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of trustees of the Mennonite Children's Home of Millersville the following resolution was passed:
"Inasmuch as it has pleased our kind heavenly Father to remove from this Board, our dearly beloved Brother, Abram B. Lutz, Therefore be it resolved that the Board of Trustees of the Mennonite Children's Home, at Millersville, Pa., feel that we have lost a faithful worker in the cause of caring, providing, and finding homes for the unfortunate little ones under our care, and knowing that God doeth all things well we trust that our loss may be his eternal gain and, be it resolved that we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereft sister and family and commend them to Jesus the only true comforter in the sad and lonely hours of their bereavement. Be it also resolved that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes and that a copy of the same be sent to the bereft family."
