Notes - Obit: Gospel Herald, October,1934
Bachman. - Christian Bachman was born of German parentage on March 7, 1857, near Cazenovia, Woodford Co., Ill.; died Sept. 19, 1934; aged 77 y. 5 m. 17 d. His entire life was spent in this immediate community. On Jan. 16, 1881, he was married to Elizabeth Yordy, near Roanoke, Ill. The following children were born to this union and remain in contemplation of the promised comfort and refuge in Christ: Phoebe, at home; Joel, in Michigan; Mary, Mrs. John Bachman and Sol, living near Cazenovia. Twelve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren survive, also a brother and a sister (Peter Bachman and Barbara -- Mrs. Andrew Schrock, of Metamora). His affiliations were with the Mennonite Church, in his youth and to the end of his life. His life was usefully lived for the interests and welfare of the Church, family, and community. Mother preceded him in death seven years ago. This ends the life of a noble parentage. We cherish the memory of pious admonitions and persisting prayers and can feel the influence in our lives.
"Our Parents are gone,
We are glad they are at home.
Though we miss them (yes miss them done here),
They suffer no more, their pilgrimage is o'er.
They are now with the Savior so dear.
It will not be long, till we too are gone,
To live up above with the dear ones we miss,
And with Christ who redeemed us with His love."
Funeral services were held Sept. 22 at the Metamora Mennonite Church, in charge of H. R. Schertz. Interment in Harmony Cemetery. By the children.
