- Obit:
Rediger.-Peter Rediger was born near Meitz, France; died at the residence of Daniel Erb near Hubbard, Oreg., April 12, 1913; aged 77 y. 10 d. About 40 years ago he came to America, spent a number of years in Illinois and in Arkansas. In the spring of 1892 he came to Oregon where he lived a hermit's life for the past 21 years. In early life he united with the Amish Mennonite (Old Order) Church. While during the last ten and declining years of his life was idly misspent, and fell away from all church connections, until one month before he died, he professed repentance and requested to be restored in peace and fellowship, after which his mind rapidly failed him, in which condition he passed away. Very sad that man should waste any part of this life. Funeral services conducted at the Zion A. M. Church by the brethren, Dan Roth and Edward Z. Yoder. Text, Heb. 13:14. Laid to rest in cemetery near by.
