ORENDORFF - On the 27th of December, 1892, in Livingston Co., Ill., Amos, son of Daniel and Maria Orendorff, aged 5 years, 9 months, 20 days. Buried on the 29th in the Waldo graveyard. Funeral services by Chr. Zimmerman and Joseph Ackerman, from Mark, 10:14, and by John P. Schmitt, from 2 Cor. 5:1-10. This little child died from the effects of drinking lye over three years ago. His stomach refused to retain solid food, his nourishment being liquid food, and at last even this failed him, and nothing was left but to wait for death, which finally came to the child's relief. Many a tear of sympathy was shed by the family when they gathered around the table to satisfy their bodies with food and had to see poor little Amos look on and suffer hunger. An operation performed on him at Chicago seemed to help him at first, but the benefit was only temporary, and the end came at last, as above stated.
