He leaves a sorrowing widow, five sons and two daughters, one brother and a sister to mourn in his departure, but they need not mourn as if they had no hope, but their loss is his eternal gain. The funeral was held at the home of his son, Emanuel, on account of Sister Mast being too old and feeble to go to the church. A very large number of people were present. Services by N. Sprool in German from 2 Rom. 4:6-8 and by J. S. Horner in English from 1 Peter 1:3, 4. Buried in the Mast graveyard. Peace to his ashes.
