    “…their eight children …had a total of 43 children of their own. Those 43 had 134 children and they were the fourth generation. Now we have the tenth and possibly eleventh generation and have lost track of the names and numbers. Christian and Catherine Schertz would no doubt be astounded.”

    Obit:
    Gospel Herald, April 1932: "Peter Schertz, son of Christian Schertz and Catherina Engel, was born near Washington, Ill., Jan. 16, 1857; died at his home near the old homestead on April 3, 1932; aged 75 y. 2 m. 17 d. Death came as the result of influenza and other complications. On Jan. 20, 1881, he was united in marriage to Magdalene, a daughter of Christian Esch who for many years was bishop of the Mennonite Church of this community. To this union were born 8 children: Manuel D., Mrs. Edwin R. Schertz, Henry R. , Mrs. Peter R. Schertz, William J., Mrs. Walter Smith, and Mrs. Walter Yoder. Edna Lucille died in infancy. Early in his life he accepted Christ as his Savior and united with the Mennonite Church remaining faithful until death. In the year 1888 he was ordained to the ministry. He was never very active in this capacity because he felt his inability to do public work. He was willing, however, to make his contribution in the service of Christ and the Church. His talents lay in other fields. Nor the least of these gifts lay in his integrity and ability in business, in which he was very successful. This God-given gift he endeavored to use in blessing other lives. As a wise counsellor his service was much appreciated in the Church, the community, and especially in the immediate family - in which he always had the larger interest in mind, the spiritual welfare of each one. Besides these interests he had the general welfare of the Church at heart. He was interested in the missionary and educational activities of the Church at large, and to these he gave freely. Besides his wife and children, he leaves 23 grandchildren; a brother (C.S. Schertz), a sister (Mrs. Debolt Householder), and many neighbors and friends who mourn his departure. Three grandchildren, 4 brothers, and 2 sisters preceded him in death. Funeral services at Metamora Church April 6, conducted by D. D. Miller, assisted by Andrew Schrock and C. Z. Yoder."
