      Schertz.-Magdalena Schertz was born Feb. 2, 1844; died Apr. 15, 1911; aged 67 y. 2 m. 13 d. On March 11, 1866, she was married to Christian Schertz, which union was blessed with 2 sons, 1 of whom died in infancy. She leaves her husband, 1 son, 7 grandchildren, 2 sisters, 5 brothers and many friends to mourn her departure.
      She was born in Peoria Co., Ill., and during her late years they were living near Roanoke, Ill., with their son, where she will be greatly missed. She was a member of the A. M. Church and whenever possible she was at her place in the house of worship, although for many years she has not been well. For about 4 months she has been suffering with gangrene on her feet, the result of diabetes. She always enjoyed to be visited, especially during her last sickness. On Saturday evening she ate a hearty supper and was suddenly called away, without her realization, about 9 o'clock.
      Funeral services were held at the Roanoke Church on Tuesday, Apr. 18, conducted by Bro. Andrew Schrock in German from I Pet. 1:3, 4, and by Bro. D. D. Zook of Newton, Kans., in English from II Cor. 51-3. Interment in cemetery nearby.
