ZEHR.-July 22nd, in Livingston county, Ill., of dropsy, Joseph Zehr, aged 74 years. Buried the 23rd. Many relatives and friends met to pay the last tribute of respect. Two daughters and a son of Seward county, Neb., came to see him a few days before his death, which gave him much satisfaction. During his sickness he suffered much from difficulty of breathing, yet he patiently bore it all. He set his housed in order, and had peace with God and man, and was prepared to die. He was a brother in the Amish Mennonite Church. He leaves an aged and bereaved wife, five sons, three daughters, and many grand children. Funeral sermons by Christian Schlegel and John P. Schmitt.
————————————

“Joseph Zehr left two record books handwritten in German Script. They were translated and summarized in an article written by George Unger in the September 1992 issue of Illinois Mennonite Heritage. These records show Joseph in two different occupational roles: The first is Joseph in his role as a farmer or farm manager; the second contains business records indicating that Joseph served as an innkeeper. In record 2, Joseph describes his sale of food, beverages (including coffee, wine, and hard liquor), wood, leather, tobacco, potatoes, and earthenware. Book 1, pages 30-31 lists all of his children and their birth dates. Excerpts from the records reveal that he was a strong Christian with a deep concern for, and love of his children. He was also a respected and liked employer.

“The following are from Joseph's handwritten family register found at page 30 & 31:

"March 6, 1835, a son was born to me and he has the name Christian Zehr. In 1861 he married Catharina Roth."
"On December 22, 1855, in the evening at 11 o'clock Christian left for North America. The ship left harbor on the 30th."
"May 17,1837, a little daughter was born to me. It has the name of Anna Zehr. On February 10, 1837, she married Christian Schertz. On April 2, 1870, she fell asleep in the Lord."
"June 9, 1839 as son was born to me and he has the name Andreas Zehr."
"October 5, 1841 a little daughter was born and it has the name Catarina Zehr. In 1861 she married Christian Roth."
"May 1, 1944, a little daughter was born to me. It has the name Barbara Zehr."
"January 5, 1847 a son was born to me and he has the name Peter Zehr."
"On May 4, 1849 a little daughter was born to me. She has the name Elizabeth Zehr."
"October 12, 1851 a son was born to me. He has the name Johannes Zehr."
"October 3, 1853 as son was born to me. He has the name Joseph Zehr in Schlong at the Marne."
"August 25, 1856, a little daughter was born to me. It has the name Maria Zehr, too little, Fagiers by Schalon, Sur Marne. On September 5, 1856 she fell asleep in the Lord."
"December 20, 1862 as son was born to me. He has the name Faledin [Valentin] Zehr in America."

“Joseph, wrote a letter to his father on January 8, 1852. In the letter, he referred to his son, Christian: 
"I would like to let you know that I have a son for whom I wish so much that he could come to your area to learn the French language. He is 16 years old, and I think that you as father would be able to arrange for a great opportunity for him to come to you and learn the miller trade." 
Christian apparently did this, staying with his grandfather for two years.

“Joseph and family immigrated in 1857 aboard the ship "Vision" from Le Havre, which landed in New York on 1/2/1857. According to the ships list, the family passengers were: Joseph (56), Catherine (51), Anna (16), Andrew (15), Catherine (14), Babette (8), Pierre (6), Elizabeth (5), Jean (3), and Joseph (11/12). [Note the incorrect ages listed for some of the family members. This was common because of language barriers]. The family settled near Metamora, Illinois. In the 1860 census, he was listed as "Joseph Sears" and lived with his wife Catherine, and children Barbara, Peter, Elizabeth, John, and Joseph in Washington Township, Tazewell County. In 1880, Joseph, Catherine, and Valentine were living in Waldo Township, Livingston County, Illinois.”

Birth:
His civil birth entry described his father as a 25-year-old land owner and plowman [Ger. Burger und Ackermann].

Obit: Herald of Truth, October 1893:
"On the 19th of Sept. 1893, in Tazewell Co., Ill., of general debility, Bro. Christian Zehr, aged 81 y., 7 m. He leaves his wife and 6 children. Funeral services by Joseph King and Joseph Stuckey in German and English from Psa. 90."
——————————
Christian traveled in 1838 to America, stopping in Butler County, Ohio, where his wife joined him in 1840. He farmed in Ohio until 1843, the next year he went to Illinois. Here he settled along the Mackinaw River and built a two room log cabin. He and [Elizabeth] had only one child, Lena. Shortly after this birth Christian's wife died. He served as a deacon of the Roanoke Mennonite Church from 1856 to 1893.

In 1844, Christian married his second wife. Their wedding was performed by bishop Michael Mosiman. The Zehrs probably belonged to the Mackinaw Meeting Amish congregation. In about 1856, Christian built a fine brick house. It was nestled in a hillside overlooking the Mackinaw River Valley. The house took two years to build. Christian made all the bricks for the dwelling in a brickyard located on his farm. Tradition says that his children mixed the clay by stamping barefoot in the mix. Christian also built his own wagon using a broad axe and a saw. It is said that there was "not a pound of iron in the wagon." ...The brick house has since been torn down.

“Christian had the grit and determination of his German forebarers and came to own 900 acres in Tazewell County--which he then gave to his children. He was a registered Democrat and served as a school director. His son, Christian born 3-12-1857, engaged in general farming and stock raising in Tazewell County. He married Magdalena Roeschley, daughter of John and Elizabeth Saltzman Roeschley. He also was registered as a Democrat, and listed as a prominent citizen of Tazewell County. “

Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Tazewell County: "The family has been known in this section since the spring of 1852, when the father...Christian Zehr...settled on Section 25, Deer Creek Township, where he engaged in the general farming and stock-raising business on a scale exceeding that of his neighbors, and raising expectations in the popular mind which were more than realized...and in time became the owner of 900 acres of land, the greater part being valuable and productive. As his children became of age he apportioned farms to them, thus giving them a start in life to which his own youth had been a stranger."

“Christian Zehr was a very thrifty and frugal man. Of all the Zehr brothers he became the most prosperous financially. In his lifetime he accumulated 900 acres of land, having a farm for each of his children when they married and started out in life for themselves.”

“They lived along the Macinaw River near the Rocky Ford. Christian Zehr became a man of wealth and owned much land between Deer Creek and Goodfield.”


The recollections of Christian's daughter Elizabeth, written in the 1930s:
"I was born in 1854 in a log cabin which contained only two rooms and no floors. The roof was made of clapboards. This cabin was situated along the Mackinaw River which was only two jumps wide. It is now about 80 feet wide. There were fourteen log cabins in the community where I was born. I was the last one born in the long [sic] house, for soon after that my father made his own bricks out of clay and built a brick house.
My father's wagon was made out of logs with broad axe and saw and not one pound of iron in it. I saw him work in the field with that wagon and three yoke of oxen a great number of times. He also built a log barn - 70 ft. by 40 ft. My father made his own plow out of wood. This was a one-horse plow and it took one row for one round.
We always went to church in the wagon. The church was twenty five miles away. In those days church services were held in houses, while now it is held in buildings use for that purpose only. In years after, we rode in spring wagons. Now automobiles are used almost entirely, and if it rains we can't get there.
My father put the wheat and grain on the barn floor and threshed it out with clubs. Now all farmers have threshing machines. He put the corn on the barn floor and stamped it out with horses, fanned it, put it in sacks, and took it to market. Now corn shellers are used. He cut his grain with a cradle and one of us had to follow with the garden rake and make bundles, another to bind it. They now have a machine which does both cutting and threshing.
It always seemed that my father was blessed, for he was never too tired or busy for family worship. God blessed him with six children. My father was born in 1812 and was always a hard working man. He died when he was 82 years of age....
I think the old days were a blessing and a comfort. The times now are so different that they are hard to get used to. I think the automobiles and high ways of living spoil things. Then the neighbors helped each other without pay; now it is pay for every quarter of an hour. During the years 1861, '62, and '63, the Civil War was fought. Two of my uncles were drafted but my father bought substitutes for them. The Civil War and also the World War are sad memories.
I was married in 1873 to Mr. Andrew Ulrich. We lived with my folks for two years and then moved in 1875 to Harlen farm, a mile and a half east of Deer Creek. From the Harlen place, we moved to Deer Creek. We raised four children. I have fourteen grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. My husband died February 13, 1919. Since then I have lived alone. Up to this time I have made 168 quilts.
God blessed me and still does, for he keeps me well. My wish is that God may bless the whole relationship.”

LANDES MENNONITE CEMETERY On July 25, 1864, Joseph purchased a 5.5-acre timberland parcel at Elm Grove from Andreas/Andrew Birky and Catherine Litwiller. This added a strip along the south edge of his original Groveland land. The land was situated just north of a place on Dillon Creek where baptisms were held by the Pleasant Grove congregation. After the trees were cleared, one-half acre was set aside to be used as a burial ground for the Pleasant Grove congregation.

Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:

“Married Anne Verle on June 7, 1806 in Cirey-sur-Vesouse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France.

Joseph was apparently a miller (per a letter from his son, Joseph Jr.). 

According to the Obituary of his daughter, Anna (Schertz), the family came to the US around 1836. However, there exists a letter to Joseph from his son, Joseph Jr. signed on January 8, 1852, while Joseph Sr. was still living in France.

In 1850, there was a 65 year old French born, Anne Zehr and 25 year old Madeleine Zehr living with 30 year old Peter Zehr in District 56 of Woodford County. They were next door to Maria Zehr (Mrs. Debolt) Householter. Peter Zehr and Maria Zehr Householter were children of Joseph and Anne Verle Zehr. 

There was also a 67 year old French born Anna Zehr living with 38 year old Joseph "Shirts" (Schertz) and his wife, 24 year old Ann Zehr Schertz. "Ann" Zehr Schertz was the youngest daughter of Joseph and Anne Verle Zehr.

Thus, there are two women named "Anne" or "Anna" Zehr that were of the age of Anne Verle Zehr living with children of Joseph and Anne. Could one of these have been the wife of Joseph Zehr and the other, a relative?

If one of these women is Anne Verle Zehr, why is she in America when it is known that her husband Joseph Zehr, Sr., was still living in France in 1852? 

By the 1860 Census, Joseph (80)and his wife, Anne (82) were living near Metamora with their daughter, Anna (Mrs. Joseph) Schertz.”
———————————————
This couple is said to have had five children, four born in Struth. They left there sometime after/between 1835 and 1855. Various members of this family moved to America at different times. Joseph and Anna settled near Metamora, Illinois.

Notes:

At one time Daniel lived in the village of Struth in France, but moved to Bavaria in 1803, where he leased a cattle farm for two years. From 1810 to 1817, the family lived at Laim, near Munich. Daniel purchased property at Manried near Hilgertshausen on 2 Dec 1818, then resold it on 15 Dec 1827. The next move was to Hanfeld, near Starnberg, Bavaria. At the age of 72 and about ten years after the death of his wife (Magdalena Unzicker), Daniel emigrated to America with the David Springer family on the ship Minnesota. The ship departed from Liverpool, England and arrived in New York on 21 June 1849. From New York Daniel went to Illinois where his sons George, Christian, Peter, and Jacob had settled.

Also on board were Valentine Birkey (1794) with brother Christian's daughter, Barbara and her illegitimate son, and Mary Burkey Birky.

Daniel’s children’s names were kept in a 1780 edition of Martyrs’ Mirror that has been passed down in the Ingold family.
——————
While in Bavaria, Daniel was one of the signatories to a letter sent March 18, 1811, to King Maximilian I. Joseph (ruler from 1806-1825). In it the “Elders of the Menonists” of the dairy farm Oberndorf, appealed to the King for permission to hire their own private instructors to educate their children in their own catechism, since he had allowed them freedom of religion. But “some of the community have received legal orders to send their children to school a good half hour away.”

The answer came to them on Sept. 11, 1811, that “attendance of the local school remained compulsory, but the Mennonite children were not compelled to participate in religious instruction.”

Other signing the letter were: Christian Güngerich, Heinrich Stalter, Christian Bürcky, Johannes Bächler.

———————
Daniel’s estate was probated in 1858 (Woodford Co., IL), Jacob Summers, Administrator. Appraisers were Christian and Peter Farney and Peter Sommer.
Paid out was: Christian Zehr $825.79; Daniel Zehr $825.79; Magdalena Zehr $36.00; Magdalena Zehr two $40 payments.
