  • Notes 
    • Obit:
      SMITH.-On Tuesday morning, Jan. 25th, 1898, the spirit of Magdelena Smith, wife of Bish. John Smith, passed quietly away. Magdelena Schertz was born Dec. 1, 1843, and died at the age of 54 years, 1 month and 24 days. She had been a long and patient sufferer with consumption until death finally released her. She leaves her husband and eight children, four boys and four girls, to mourn their loss, but what is their loss can be reckoned as her gain, as for her it was only a stepping out from a world of pain and sorrow, to one of everlasting bliss. The end came peacefully, conscious that a bright home was prepared for her in the new Jerusalem. Short funeral services were held at the house and at the Roanoke church, Jan. 27th, where a large concourse of friends and relatives assembled to pay their last respects to the dear departed. Services were conducted by Samuel Gerber and Peter Summer.

      Other children:
      Joseph D. b 1868
      Christian
      John D. b 1877
      Three more girls
