Teuscher - John S. Teuscher was born near Eureka, Ill., Dec. 4, 1875; died April 30, 1935; aged 59 y. 4 m. 27 d. His death was due to pneumonia and complications, following an accident in which he sustained a broken back about 10 weeks ago. He was taken to the Mercy Hospital in Champaign, Ill., where every effort failed to save his life. He suffered a great deal during this time, but bore it all patiently. He was fully resigned to the will of the Lord, often expressing his desire to go to his eternal home. On Mar. 9, 1897, he was united in marriage with Mary Roth of Morton, Ill. To this union were born 7 children 2 of whom preceded him in death. He leaves his loving companion and the following children: Mrs. S.M. Zehr and Daniel of Fisher, Ill.; Freda, Clara, and Melvin at home; 2 grandchildren, 3 brothers - Jacob of Upland, Calif.; William of Pigeon, Mich.; and Henry of Milford, Neb.; also a host of other relatives and friends. One sister (Mrs. John Stalter of Gridley, Ill.) preceded him in death. In his youth he accepted Christ as his personal Savior and united with the Mennonite Church, to which he was faithful until death. As a Christian he was much interested in the work of the Church and Sunday school, seldom being absent. He filled the office of church trustee for 25 years, up to the time of his death. He will be greatly missed in the home, Church, and community. Funeral services were held at the East Bend Mennonite Church, with Bros. A.H. Leaman of Chicago, Ill., and J.A. Heiser of Fisher, Ill., in charge. Interment in East Bend Cemetery.
"Some morning bright we'll meet again
On heaven's happy shore;
Yes, in that land where comes no night
We'll meet to part no more."
