                                  DANIEL VANWYE

    Daniel VanWye, son of Mr. and Mrs. Enos VanWye, was born in
Trumbull County, Ohio, Jan. 15, 1834; died at his home, Pleasant Lake, 
Ind., Jan. 20, 1917, aged 83 years, and 5 days.
    Sept. 23, 1858, he was united in marriage with Sarah McGrew, and to
them were born three children – Cornelius, of Elkhart; Mrs. Alice Camp, 
of Pleasant Lake, and Melvina Hathaway, of Sturgis, Mich. .  He united 
with the United Brethren church in 1862, and has always remained a 
faithful member.  He was a soldier in the Civil War, having enlisted on 
March 10, 1865, in Co. I, 195th Ohio Infantry.   In 1886, he removed to 
Pleasant Lake, Ind., transferring his membership to the United Brethren
Church there, and he became truly a pillar of the church.  His consistent
exemplary Christian character and life made a deep and lasting impression
on the entire community for righteousness, and the Kingdom of Christ. 
He served the church as class leader for many years, and was always found 
in his place at prayer meeting.  He was a teacher in the Sunday school, 
possessing a wonderful knowledge of the bible.  “And I heard a voice from 
heaven saying unto me, write:  ‘Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord,
from henceforth.  Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them.”  He is survived by his wife, three children,
three grandchildren, two brothers, and three sisters.
