• Notes

  Obit: Saltzman.-Jacob, son of Peter and Anna (Reshley) Saltzman, was born in A La Trimbol (à Lafrimbolle), Lorraine, France, May 20, 1856; died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. David Lehman, Kalona, Ia., April 28, 1944; aged 87 y. 11 m. 8 d. He came to America in Oct., 1878, worked in New York and Boston, Mass., until the fall of 1882 when he came to Milford, Nebr. He was united in marriage Sept. 6, 1885, to Fannie Burkey of Milford and they lived together in matrimony almost 60 years. After their marriage they moved on a farm near Milford where they lived until the fall of 1908, when they retired and moved to Milford. In 1942 they went to the home of their daughter where they remained the last 17 months and where Bro. Saltzman passed away. To this union 6 children were born: Mrs. David Lehman and Mrs. Barbara Stutzman, Kalona, Ia.; Mrs. Fred Yeackley and Mrs. Melvin Troyer, Milford, Nebr.; Edward E., Milford; and one son Joseph A., deceased. He is survived by his companion and the above named, 27 grandchildren, 54 great-grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends. Bro. Saltzman accepted Christ in his youth and united with the Mennonite Church in France. On coming to America and locating at Milford, Nebr., he placed his membership with the East Fairview congregation where he was a life-long member, always taking a deep interest in the spiritual welfare of the church. Bro. Saltzman was a devoted husband and father, and a friend to all who knew him. It can be truly said of him "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon April 29, at the Lehman home, conducted by J. L. Hershberger, and at the Lower Deer Creek Church by J. Y. Swartzendruber, D. J. Fisher, and Geo. S. Miller, after which the body was taken to Milford, Nebr., to the house of his son, Edward E., where services were conducted Monday afternoon, May 1, by Ammon Miller and at the East Fairview Church by J. E. Zimmerman and L. O. Schlegel. Interment was made in adjoining cemetery.
