Herald of Truth, May 1866, Vol. III, No. 5, p. 44:
"On the 17th of April, near State Line, Franklin Co., Pa., of a chronic disease Pre. Benjamin Eby, aged 68 years, 4 months, and 11 days. Bro. Eby's health had been failing nearly all winter, so that he could not attend to his ministerial duties. He labored in the ministry for more than 33 years near Litiz, Lancaster Co., Pa. He was highly esteemed both in and out of the church, and continued faithful in the discharge of his duties till God called him from the scenes of his earthly labors. On the 21st of March, he moved from Lancaster to Franklin County; but never had the opportunity of ministering to his new congregation. He was buried on the 20th at Whitmer's Church. A large circle of friends and relatives followed his remains to the grave. A number from the place of his former residence was also present at the funeral. A funeral discourse was delivered by the brethren Christian Bomberger, John Risser, and Peter Eshleman. The two former were from Lancaster County, and had come to pay their last respects to the memory of their departed brother. The funeral text was 2 Tim. 4: 7, 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.'"
