GEORGE
H. DELLER
"George H. Deller was born in Columbia, Anna county, Ohio, February
15,
1843. Died at his home four miles west of Pleasant Lake, Ind., Turesday,
May
1, 1923, at the age of 80 years, 2 months and 15 days.
Mr. Deller came to Indiana with his parents at the age of about six
years,
locating near the Mt. Zion church, where he grew to manhood. He was
converted and joined the Mt. Zion United Brethren chruch at the age of 23
years, and was a life-long member until his death, always faithful and true
to the church.
He was married to Catherine Wolf March 23, 1865, living together for
58
years. Within a few months after their marriage they moved to the old
homestead, where they now live and have spent their lives together. To
this
union was born five chidre, two sons and three daughters, one daughter having
died six years ago, Mrs. Nettie Gilbert, deceased. Surviving are Myron
Deller, living east of Fremont, Ind.; Rev. William Deller, of Geddes, South
Dakota; Mrs. Ella Weaver, Mrs. Maude Sunday, of near the old home place.
Besides the wife and mother, the sons and daughters, he leaves 18
grandchildren; also a host of relatives and friends to mour his loss.
Brother Deller will be missed by the family and home; also by the
church
and community. All who knew him will miss his familiar face and smile.
Brother Deller was a hard-working man and always had his home and welfare
of
his family at heart. He was a good kind husband and father and won
the
esteem of his family. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were
precious jewels to him and his home and heard was always open to them in
welcome. He loved them so with his whole heart. He has been taken from us
but
many tendermemories still linger to cheer those he loved so well on to
victory and to God. We bow in humble submission and say not our will
but
thine, of God, be done.
Funeral services and burial were at Mt. Zion Friday at 10 o'clock
a.m.,
Rev. G.H. Trinkle officiating, assisted by Rev. McCloe, Rev. Franklin and
Rev. Parker."
