The deceased was born on a farm east of Ganges, Richland Co. He was married to Miss Mary Bucher, April 14, 1858, who departed this life February 4, 1890. Twelve children were born to them, of whom five sons and two daughters survive him, and they were present when he died. January 21, 1891, he was married again to Mrs. Nancy Miller. His health had been failing for some time, under the effects of a paralytic stroke and lung trouble. He was confined to his bed for about five weeks. In his sickness he had every attention and care that a wife, friends and physicians could give. The deceased was esteemed; he was a good citizen, and for a number of years was township trustee and school director, and held the confidence and respect of his neighbors and acquaintances. He resided on his Jackson Township farm since April, 1853. His memory is cherished by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The funeral services took place on Sunday morning and were held at Ganges, and was one of the largest attended for many years, as very many were unable to find seats. Rev. Elias A. Best, pastor of the Lutheran church, delivered the funeral discourse, basing his remarks on the words: "But he knoweth the way, when he hath tried me; I shall come forth as gold." The remains of the deceased were conveyed to their last resting place in the beautiful cemetery near the church. He has gone to come back no more forever. His place is vacant. Peace be to his memory. - E.A.B. Submitted by Amy.
