- (Research):Gospel Herald - Vol. XXXIX, No . 30 - October 22, 1946--Page 655Cressman.--Mabel, daughter of the late Enoch and Hannah (Eby) Burkhart, was born near Floradale, Ont., died suddenly from a heart attack, July 26, 1946, in her forty-first year. Her passing came as a shock, for she was seemingly enjoying normal health. In her youth she became a Christian and united with the Mennonite Church. In September, 1928, she was married to Zenas Cressman, and since that time lived near New Hamburg, Ont. One infant son (James), one brother (Herbert), and one sister (Ellen--Mrs. Irvin Martin) predeceased her. Surviving are her widowed husband, 3 children (Jean, Kenneth and baby Joyce), 2 sisters (Gladys--Mrs. Abner Musselman and Florence--Mrs. Mervin Schantz, of Alma, Ont.), 5 brothers (Clarence, Guernsey, Sask.; Irvin, Goshen, Ind.; Emerson, Lloyd, and Gordon of Kitchener). As a member of the Biehn church, New Hamburg, she served faithfully as a Sunday-school teacher, and had charge of the women's sewing circle. We cannot understand why she was called away when she seemed to be so much needed , but we submit to the higher will of God and await the resurrection day. Funeral services were held July 29 at her late home and at the church. O. D. Snider and C. C. Cressman assisted in the services.
