  • Notes 
    • OBIT:

      Bachman.-Elizabeth, daughter of Peter and Mary Yordy, was born in Tazewell Co., Ill., Dec. 6, 1854; died at her home in Cazenovia, Ill., Jan. 28, 1928; aged 73 y. 1 m. 22 d. In the year 1881 she was united in marriage to Christian Bachman. To this union were born four children (Phoebe, Joel, Mrs. John Bachman, and Solomon). She is survived by her husband, two sons, two daughters, one brother, one sister, 12 grandchildren. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior in her youth and united with the Mennonite Church of which she was a faithful member until death. The consistent Christian life that she lived at all times and her cheerful, sociable disposition were greatly admired by all who knew her. Recently she expressed herself to members of the family, and others, that she was ready to meet her Redeemer. Thus we have reasons to believe that she died rejoicing in the Lord.

      Lived in Cazenovia. Had one of the first 2-cylinder Reo cars in the area and drove it to visit the Joseph Yordy family in Fisher, IL. [2]
