  • Notes 
    • Obit: Ropp - On the 8th of April 1892, in Elm Grove Twp, Tazewell Co, Ill, Milo L son of A D and Katie Ropp, of lung trouble, aged 2 years and 4 days. 

      The remains were interred on the 10th. Services were conducted at the house and the church by the writer and David Augsburger and Peter Ropp. 

      The parents are bowed down with sorrow at the loss, as they had but two children, and the other was called away some time ago, but it pleased the Lord to call the dear little ones home. Joseph Stuckey
