• Notes

  Obit: Gospel Herald, April 9, 1936 - Vol. XXIX, No.2 - page 46, 47 Reschly.-Joseph Reschly was born in Ontario March 8, 1860. When seventeen years of age he came to Henry Co., Iowa, where he lived ever since. He accepted Christ as his Savior while yet in Canada, but when he came to Iowa he transferred his membership to the Sugar Creek Amish Mennonite Church of which congregation he was a member when he passed away. On March 18, 1883, he was united in marriage with Anna Roth. This union was blest with 4 daughters and 3 sons. The younger children were quite small when the mother was taken away by death Jan. 22, 1896. On March 11, 1898, he was married again to Barbara Nebel. Five sons and one daughter were born to this union. The daughter died in infancy. Bro. Reschly being a carpenter by trade, he became well known in this community. His workmanship won for him many friends. For a number of years his health had been failing, but by careful dieting he seemed to get along quite well. Gradually, however, the infirmities of the human body fastened themselves more firmly upon him. Eventually he was taken to the hospital in Iowa City where he submitted to treatment. His condition did not seem to improve, so in accordance with his wishes he was brought home where he was tenderly cared for about a week, when he peacefully passed away Monday afternoon, March 23, 1936; aged 76 y. 15 d. Bro. Reschly's Christian experience seemed to grow as he grew older and he often deplored the errors of his younger days. During his last sickness he expressed himself as being ready to go. He leaves his wife, 3 daughter's (Katie, Mrs. Amsa Miller; Emma, Mrs. C. B. Roth; and Eva, Mrs. Harris Boese), 8 sons (William, Elmer, Harry, Joseph, Henry, Irvin, John, and Glenn) all residing in this community, 1 sister (Mrs. Katie Erb), 47 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. The funeral was held at the Sugar Creek Church near Wayland, Iowa, March 26, conducted by Willard Leichty and Simon Gingerich. Text, Phil. 1:2.
