- Obit:
Heiser. ? Joseph S. Heiser of Tremont, Ill., was born Jan. 4, 1854; died Aug. 8 1932, after being bed-fast for five weeks; aged 78 y. 7 m. 4 d. Through all his suffering he was very patient never complaining, having a desire to depart. He united with the Amish Church in his youth, always interested and active in the work of the Lord, never missing a church service when able to attend, ever ready to give an answer for the hope that was within him. On Jan. 28, 1877, he was united in marriage to Fannie, daughter of Pre. Daniel and Kate Roth. Five children blessed this union. One daughter (Bena), 2 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, 3 sisters, and 1 brother preceded him in death. He leaves his bereaved companion and the following children: Ella M. Litwiller of Tremont, Albert E. Heiser of Pekin, Louisa Heiser at home, Edward R. Heiser of Pekin, 8 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, 1 brother (Christian Heiser of Minier, Ill.) 2 sisters (Mrs. Jacob Nafziger and Mary Heiser of Tremont), and many relatives and friends mourn his departure.
"Father, dear, your wish is granted;
Sorrow, toil and pain are o'er;
By the grace of God we'll meet you
Over on the peaceful shore."
Funeral services on Aug. 10, conducted by Bro. Jonas Litwiler at the home and by Bros. Simon Litwiler of Hosedale and Joe Hartzler of Gridley at the Pleasant Grove Church near Tremont. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
