  • Notes 
    • Obit:
      Schertz.-Mary M., daughter of Jacob and Magdalene Saltzman, was born near Lacon, Ill., Nov. 13, 1859; died of a paralytic stroke at her home in Flanagan, Ill., Feb. 23, 1933; aged 74 y. 3 m. 10 d. She was united in marriage to Peter M. Schertz of Metamora, Ill., March 5, 1878, who preceded her in death Sept. 2, 1913. To this union 7 children were born: William J. and Ben F. of Gridley; Mrs. Anna Schrock of Orrville, O.; Mattie, Eureka; Mrs. Emma Hartzler, Gridley; Mrs. Carry Grieser, Panola; Lora, at home. These, with 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, also 1 brother (Ben Saltzman) and 1 sister (Mrs. Lizzie Stalter of Flanagan) survive to mourn her departure. She is also preceded in death by 2 grandchildren and 3 brothers (Peter, John, and Joseph). She accepted Christ as her personal saviour in her youth, united with the Mennonite church, and lived a consistent Christian life to the end. Quiet and unassuming in her manner, her heart went out in deepest sympathy to those in need. She enjoyed a wide acquaintance and in the homes of these friends she was always welcome. In her passing the family loses a devoted mother and grandmother, the community an exemplary friend and neighbor. Thus closes a Christian life of the allotted three score years and ten that was ever filled by the noblest desires and best of interests. Funeral services were held at the Waldo Mennonite Church with Bro. Joe Davis and Bro. D. W. Slagel in charge. Burial in Waldo Cemetery.
      "No one heard the footsteps
      Of the angels drawing near.
      That took from earth to heaven,
      The one we loved so dear."
