SCHRACK - On the 21st of March 1896 at the residence of Maria Koeing in Livingstone Co., Ill., Jacobine Schrack of lung trouble and the infirmities of old age at the advanced age of 81 years, 6 months and 12 days. Our deceased sister leaves no direct descendent. Her husband John Schrack died about 24 years ago. Her last words were "The Lord's will be done," after which she calmly fell asleep, to awake as we believe in the land of the immortal. She was a faithful member of the old Amish Mennonite church. Her remains were laid to rest on the 23d in the Waldo Twp. cemetery. Funeral services at the house by Daniel Orendorff and at the meeting house by Stephen Stähly from Psalms 90 assisted by the writer from Isa. 38:1-3. A very large concourse of people followed her remains to their last resting place. Peace to her ashes. JOHN P. SCHMITT

“Sebastian Reidiger became the manager of the Lords of Dungern at the estate at Ottenweier in 1763. With his family he had come from the valley of Emmental in the Kanton of Bern in Switzerland. He belonged to the Anabaptist movement, the Mennonites. In the Ottenweier estate records as in the community records the name Reidiger has also been spelled as: Reitiger, Reitenger, Riediger, Rediger, Rodiger, Reutiger and Reudinger. As did his predecessor, the Mennonite Johann Georg Rieder who managed the estate from 1720-1763, Sebastian (Basch) Reidiger, conducted religious meetings at the estate and at the close by forest, the Anabaptist forest, for his family and the hired hands. There, one can still find a huge, round table made from sandstone on which the adult baptismal candidates have been registered.”
