    • Obit:
      Ulrich.--Christian M., son of David and Anna (Reeser) Ulrich, was born near Eureka, Ill., Jan. 29, 1879; departed this life May 6, 1945; aged 66 y. 3 m. 9 d. Death was caused by a malignant tumor. He suffered intense pain, especially the last week of his life, but he never complained. In his youth he accepted Christ as his Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church, remaining faithful to the end. On Jan. 7, 1904, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Ann Schertz, who preceded him in death in February, 1926. To this union eleven children were born: Ralph, Loren, Wilmer, and Clayton, of Eureka; Richard, Dayton, Va.; Lorene--Mrs. Ezra Wagner, and Reva--Mrs. Wilbur Noe, Chenoa, Ill.; Mona--Mrs. Camiel Schooner, Peoria, Ill,; Elizabeth--Mrs. Arthur Garber, Roanoke, Ill.; Robert, Pensacola, Fla.; and Marvin, in the Marianas. On March 9, 1930, he was united in marriage to Martha J. Garber, who tenderly cared for him during his illness. He leaves to mourn his departure, his widow, 11 children, 12 grandchildren, 6 sisters (Mrs. Barbara Schertz, Mrs., William Schrock, Mrs. E. E. Schertz, Mrs. John Harnish, of Eureka; Mrs. Amos Schertz, Falfurrias, Texas; and Mrs. Emma Schertz, Dewey, Ill.), 3 brothers (Peter, David, and Emmanuel, of Eureka), and many other relatives and friends. His father, mother, and one sister (Anna) preceded him in death. During his illness he expressed his readiness to meet his Saviour and often prayed that He would come and take him home. Funeral services were in charge of J. A. Heiser, assisted by Ezra B. Yordy. Burial was made in the church cemetery.
