"On the 25th of April 1895, in Livingston Co., Ill., at 7 P. M., John Koenig fell peacefully asleep in Jesus, aged 69 y., 7 m., 9 d. Bro. Koenig had been ailing all winter, and finally took cold which developed into la-grippe and lung fever, from which death ensued after 9 days of suffering. Bro. Koenig was a faithful member of the Old Amish Mennonite church and was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. His second marriage in 1863 to Maria Ringenberg was blessed with 10 children of whom 6 sons and 3 daughters survive. The remains were laid to rest on the 28th. Funeral services to a large concourse of friends by Daniel Orendorff and J. P. Schmitt from 2 Cor. 5: 10 and by J. P. Zehr and Peter Tschantz from Rev. 14: 13. ¬ J. P. Schmitt." Zurlinden identified King's second wife not as Ringenberg, but as 'Stoufer.'
