  • Notes 
    • Obit: Gospel Herald, February 1948

      Arthur, son of the late Joseph and Mary (Berkey) Gascho, was born near Milford, Nebr., July 8, 1890; died at his home, Cairo, Nebr., Jan. 8, 1948; aged 57 y. 6 m. Death resulted from a stroke. In his youth he united with the Mennonite Church of which he remained a member until death. On Feb. 10, 1918, he was united in marriage to Barbara Stutzman, of Wood River, Nebr., who passed away April 18, 1942. To this union were born five children. He was united in marriage to Laura Stutzman on Sept. 19, 1943, since which time he resided at Cairo, Nebr. Surviving are his wife, two daughters (Mrs. Dean Veeder, Cairo, Nebr.; and Mary, Broken Bow, Nebr.), two sons (Glen A., of Broken Bow; and Chester W., at home), two grandchildren, three brothers (Joseph, Wood River, Nebr.; and Ben and Christ, Milford, Nebr.), and two sisters (Mrs. P. B. Stutzman, Spartansburg, Pa.; and Mrs. A. A. Hershberger, Union City, Pa.). One infant son, three brothers, and three sisters predeceased him. His pleasant smile and kind words lightened the burden of many sad hearts. Funeral services were conducted Jan. 11 at the home and at the Wood River Mennonite Church by W. R. Eicher, assisted by Ezra Roth. Burial was made in the Mennonite Cemetery adjacent to the church.
