On Sunday afternoon, May 17, 1914, at his home in the village of Berne, Ellery Deitz passed from earth, aged 56 years. Mr. Deitz had been ill for months, and all who had watched his brave struggle against disease had hoped that with the new life of the springtime, renewed vigor might be his; but that was not to be. To him, the end brought only joy; but for those of his stricken family who bear the sadness of separation, the blow is indeed crushing. To the frail daughter, who has borne with patient and cheerful courage an ever-increasing burden of helplessness and pain, and to the faithful, heroic wife, left together in the lonely home, is given the affectionate sympathy of their many friends in unstinted measure. Mr. Deitz was a man of happy and friendly nature, and in his home life these lovable qualities were constantly manifested. To those who mourn his going is left the sweet memory of many happy years. But more abundant comfort is theirs in the blessed knowledge that their loved one has entered into “the rest that remaineth for the people of God,” where they, too, shall find entrance. He leaves also a son, Fred N. Deitz, and two grandsons. The funeral service was held at the home on Wednesday afternoon. Rev. A.A. Seso, his pastor, had charge of the service. Mr. Deitz had been lately elected an elder of the Reformed church at Berne, but had not yet been installed in office.
