Sundheimer - Gary Wade Sundheimer, son of Ralph and Thelma Sundheimer, was born on Sept 19, 1937, near Walnut Creek, O, and departed this life on April 29, 1943, at the home of his grandparents, Mr and Mrs Otis Sundheimer, where his family resides; aged 5 y, 7 m, 10 d.
He was accidentally killed while he was with his mother and grandfather as they were spraying trees in the orchard. He was caught in the shaft connecting the tractor and sprayer and killed immediately. In Sunday school he took a keen interest in learning God's Word. As only a child, he had learned to pray to his heavenly Father. He had memorized Psalm 23 which was precious to him because of the message it conveyed to him of the Good Shepherd.
His parents are resigned to God's will, trusting completely in His assurance that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord, and they hope that the short life lived by their son will be an inspiration and influence to lead some soul to a closer walk with the Shepherd he loved.
He leaves to mourn his early departure his father, mother, a sister Sandra Lee, his paternal grandparents (Mr & Mrs Otis Sundheimer), maternal grandmother (Mrs Paul McKee, Killbuck), one great-grandfather (Daniel W Hershberger), one great-grandmother (Mrs Edna Philips, Killbuck), and many other relatives and friends from the home and neighboring communities.
Funeral service were held at the Walnut Creek Mennonite Church, May 2, 1943, in charge of the home ministers, Bros Paul B Miller, Vensus Hershberger, and Alvin Miller. Interment in the church cemetery.
In God's dear home, he is safe, no suffering, tears or care,
And in His time, we'll surely find, our darling Gary, waiting there.
