• Notes

  Peter Schrag says of his father: He was a shoemaker, digging the graves in the graveyard and servicing the church as a sexton, also ringing the church bells. The same did also my grandfather. When my father died 1946, my mother continued the job as a sexton with my help. I had the permission from the school to leave at 11 am and 3 pm to the church to ring the bell for five minutes. Later on my brother continued. He died 2003. Our family was never a member of the Anabaptist community.
