    • Obit:
      Nafziger.- John, son of John and Mary Nafziger was born in Little Mackinaw Tp. April 7, 1868; died at his home south of Hopedale, Ill., Aug. 12, 1917; aged 49 y. 4 m. 5 d. He had been in failing health for some time. Until last Thursday he seemed to be improving, but at that time he began to fail, and death came as a relief. He was married to Lydia Litwiller, Aug. 28, 1890. Nine children were born to this union, namely, Alma Sutter, Leah Good, Martha, Amos, Orrin, Mary, Fanny and Agnes, who with his wife survive him. Edna died in childhood. He is also survived by his aged mother, two grandchildren, two sisters, three brothers, other relatives and a host of friends. He was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite Church, and will be greatly missed in the community in which he lived. The funeral was held at the church Wednesday morning Aug. 15, and was in charge of the home bishop J. C. Birky and Bro. Andrew Schrock of Metamora. Text, Jas. 4:14. The services were largely attended by relatives and friends. Interment was in the Amish cemetery.
      "I’m going to live with the angels so fair.
      I'll look for you, and wait for you there,
      Where tears do not flow and where death cannot come
      Together we'll dwell in that beautiful home."
