Eby.-Tobias S. Eby died April 27, 1929, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. H. Leaman, 4216 Greenview Ave., Chicago, Ill., aged 87 y. 5 m. 29 d. He was ill four days. The immediate cause of his death was erysipelas. The remains were taken to his former home near Bluffton, Ohio. Funeral services were held on Monday, April 29, at the Ebenezer Mennonite Church near Bluffton. Burial was in the cemetery of the Zion Mennonite Church, three and one-half miles west of Bluffton. Short funeral services were conducted on Sunday evening in Chicago. Final services were conducted by Preacher Paul E. Whitmer and E. J. Neuenschwander. Bro. Eby was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., Oct. 30, 1841. In 1849, at the age of eight, he moved to Wayne Co., Ohio, with his father's family. Here he grew to manhood and engaged in farming and teaching school for four years. May 1, 1870, he was married to Susanna Leatherman of Medina Co., Ohio. Seven children were born to this union. He lived with his family in Wayne Co., Ohio, until 1887. In the spring of that year he removed with his family to Allen Co., Ohio, near Bluffton. He lived on his farm until 1917 when his wife died. From that date until the fall of 1927 he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. M. S. Steiner, widow of the late M. S. Steiner. In the fall of 1927 he went to live with his second daughter, Mrs. A. H. Leaman. In 1889 he and his wife became members of the Zion Mennonite Church while the late J. S. Coffman was conducting evangelistic services at that place. He remained a faithful member of his church until he passed to his reward. His love and loyalty for his church became stronger and deeper as the years passed. He died with abiding faith in the saving grace of his Master. He was the last survivor of a family of ten children. He in turn is survived by all his children. There are three sons, Dr. H. W.
