In 1865 the family moved near Meadows, Ill. In 1871 he was united in holy matrimony to Mary Stalter and moved on the farm where he died, living there 54 years, with the exception of four months which he spent in St. Petersburg, Fla., last winter. To this union were born four sons and four daughters. His companion preceded him to the home beyond Dec. 11, 1917. Two sons died in infancy. He leaves 2 sons (John and Chris) 3 daughters (Mrs. E. A. Rediger, Barbara, and Lena), 13 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, 1 brother (Daniel), and one sister (Magdalena Rocke). He accepted Christ and united with the Mennonite Church in his youth, and remained faithful and loyal until God called him home. "Dearest Father, thou hast left us, How we miss thee everywhere; But we hope again to meet thee, On yonder heavenly shore." Funeral services were held at his late home June 7, by Bro. D. W. Slagel, and at the church by Bro. Joe Heiser, Fisher, Ill., who preached the funeral sermon. Text, II Tim. 4:6-8. Burial in the Waldo cemetery.
