J. L. EMMERT DIES
Word was received here Wednesday morning from Opheim, Montana, announcing the death there of J. L. Emmert on Tuesday, the 25th. Word was at once forwarded to that city to ship the remains to Hubbard, which was done some time Thursday. It is uncertain as to the exact time of arrival of the body here, but it is thought it will reach here Saturday, in which event the funeral will be held Sunday p. m. at Hopewell church. The body will rest in the meantime at the home of Rev. Emmert's brother, Ben H. Emmert.
Burial will be at Hopewll where several other relatives are buried.
A letter giving an account of his illness arrived Thursday, and it appears that Rev.Emmert suffered from a very serious case of erysipelas, and the very best medical attention was given him.
Rev. Emmert was formerly of Hubbard, having gone to Montana about four years ago. Mrs. Emmert came to Hubbard last summer to visit her daughter Mrs. J. B. Stauffer and while here was taken seriously ill and Rev. Emmert came to Hubbard at that time and remained until Mrs. Emmert was very much improved. At that time he was in good health and the announcement of his death was the first intimation of any serious illness. He was an earnest and untiring work for his Saviour, giving a great deal of time to the young people of the Sunday schools. His work at the Montana points on his charge were greatly built up under his ministraton. More complete notice to appear later.

The funeral services were held at Opheim yesterday afternoon Rev. Wm. Pippy of the Methodist church conducted the services. The remains were shipped to his old home at Hubbard, Oregon where burial will take place. Mr. Emmert is survived by a wife and other relatives.

The funeral of Rev. J. L. Emmert was conducted last Sunday afternoon from the Hopewell Mennonite church, Revs. Henry Wolfer, pastor of the church and Rev. T. Acheson, pastor of the Jason Lee Methodist church, Salem, preaching the sermon.
On the arrival of the body from Montana, Saturday morning, it was take to the home of Ben Emmert where it rested until the close of the short service preceding the service at Hopewell church.
The service was largely attended by the many friends of the family and of deceased, interment in the nearby churchyard. The following obituary was ready at the service.
Brother John L. Emmert was born in LaGrange county, Indiana, July 11, 1868 and died March 25, 1924 at the age of 56 years. He was married to Wealthy Freeze in 1887, and to this union was born two sons, Clarence and Harvey. In 1901 he was married to Elizabeth Spiller and as a result of this marriage one son and one daughter were born.
Two sons and one daughter, besides his parents, one brother and three sisters have passed on before him to the home of the soul. He leaves to mourn his loss today his wife, a step-daughter, one son, three brothers and four sisters.
For fifteen years Brother Emmert has been a preacher of the gospel. About eight years ago he came to this community with his family. He has during this time proved himself to be a loyal follower of his Lord and Master, and eager to be in the active work for the upbuilding of the kingdom. It is not surprising that Bro. Emmert fell, out in the field of service. * * * Today he rests from his labor. Today he spends his first Lord's day with Christ and the loved ones gone before.
