Ulrich.-Christian K., son of Peter and Magdalena (King) Ulrich, was born near Goodfield, Ill., June 7, 1870; died at Davenport, Iowa, Oct. 30, 1936: aged 66 y. 4 m. 23 d. He was a sufferer of rheumatism for several months, being bedfast 9 days. The day before his death he had a hemorrhage, caused by a bleeding ulcer of the stomach. Growing weaker, we realized there was no hope for his recovery. Other hemorrhages hastened his death the following day. He accepted his Savior in his youth and kept the faith until the end. On Jan. 30, 1897, he was united in marriage to Emma Unzicker of Fisher, Ill., who preceded him in death Mar. 22, 1919. This union was blessed with 5 sons and 5 daughters (Mrs. Rosa Hostetler, Mrs. Velma Hostetler, Elmer, John, Raymond, Solomon, Clarence of Shelbyville, Ill.; Mrs. Freida Kennell, Mrs. Ruth Hostetler and Mrs. Nettie Zoss of Roanoke, Ill.). On June 7, 1928, he was again united in marriage to Mrs. Ellen Ulrich, who remains to mourn his departure with his 5 sons and 5 daughters, 28 grandchildren, 5 step-children, 3 brothers and 5 sisters (Peter of Low Point, Ill.; Andrew amid Dave of Shelbyville, Ill.; Mrs. Anna Keller of Eureka, Ill.; Mrs. Kate Kennell, Lena Ulrich, Mrs. Barbara Unzicker of Roanoke, Ill.; and Mrs. Sarah Eash of Shelbyville, Ill). His parents, 2 sisters, and 1 brother preceded him in death (Mrs. Lizzie Springer, Joe, and Mary Ulrich). He was a loving Christian companion and as a father very much concerned about the Christian life of his family. In his last days of suffering he found much comfort in the reading of God's Word and in prayer.
In silence he suffered,
With a smile his pains he bore;
Until God's angel whispered,
"Come home and suffer no more."
Funeral services were conducted at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Freida Kennell, and at the Roanoke Mennonite Church by Bros. Ezra Yordy and Joseph Kennell. Text, II Tim. 4 :6-8.
