Mr. Christian Roth Passes

A prominent figure in the life of the community was ended in the death of Mr. Christian Roth, who passed away early yesterday morning at his home in his 80th year. He had been in poor health for some time but his death was rather unexpected. The late Mr. Roth was born near St. Agatha on Nov. 1, 1862, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Christian Roth. He came to New Hamburg when a young man. He was married here Dec. 15, 1887, to Lydia Schultz, and he farmed successfully for many years on the farm adjoining the village, now owned by his son, William. About twenty-four years ago he purchased the properties of the late Jos. F. Rau, including the brewery property. He acquired the Oak Grove Cheese factory on Bleam's Road and moved the business to the old brewery premises. He conducted the business successfully for several years until he disposal of the same to Mr. Zito Baccarini, the present owner. Since then he lived in retirement. The deceased was a member of the Reformed Mennonite Church. Besides his wife he is survived by two sons, David and William of New Hamburg and a daughter, Luella, Mrs. Maurice Weicker, of near Haysville. One son, Edward, predeceased him. He is also survived by two brothers, Rudy L., New Hamburg, David L. St. Agatha, a sister, Mrs. Ben Yost, of Poole and 8 grandchildren. The funeral will be held on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 2 p.m., to Hostetler's Church for service and interment in the adjoining cemetery. Rev. Harvey Gampp will be in charge.

Notes:

Mrs. Magdalena Schultz - The funeral of the late Mrs. Schultz who passed away here last Thursday, was held from the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Chr. Roth, on Sunday afternoon and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. After a short service at the house the cortege proceeded to Hostetler's Church where the funeral service was held by Rev. F. Weicker and Rev. Harvey Gampp. Interment took place in Hostetler's Cemetery.

In the death of Mrs. Schultz another link of the pioneer days of this district has been severed. The deceased whose maiden name was Madgalena Otto, was born in North Easthope on the farm now occupied by Russel Fierling, on September 21, 1844. She thus reached the age of 86 years, 3 months, 25 days. She spent her whole life in this neighborhood and through her kind nature and womanly qualities endeared herself to a large circle of friends.

She was married in 1864 to Christian Schultz and they resided on the farm south of the town. Her husband predeceased her in 1887 and since then she continued to make her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Chr. Roth. Besides her daughter she leaves to mourn her death three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Also two sisters, Mrs. Otto, of Danvers, Ill., and Mrs. Otto, of Ashland, Ill., besides a host of other relatives and friends.

The late Mrs. Schultz was seriously ill with pneumonia two years ago but had fully recovered and only a short time before her death, showed signs of failing health.

A-1-19 Rudolph Roth: Last Will and Testament of Rudolph Roth of Wilmot Township, translated from the original written in German.

…. I the undersigned Rudolph Roth, dwelling in the Township of Wilmot, though being sick and weak in body, yet possessed of my good understanding, and also powers of recollection, memory and judgement….Whereas I am a mortal man, and I know not how soon I must leave this world, I hereby make and declare these presents as my last will and testament as follows. First that my children which I do leave behind do walk at all times in the fear of God, in peace, love, humanity and in the right Christian and brotherly union, and first of all strife after the Kingdom of God and after his righteousness, and when the Giver of all good gifts will give as much unto you at all times, as you shall stand in need of…Secondly shall my wife Maria Litwiller have the privilege to take out of the household whatever she will for her use and benefit as long as she lives. Thirdly that my wife has the right to build a house for her support after her desire as long as she lives, and that my Executors must assist her in the building and must pay for it out of the undivided Estate left. Fourthly shall of the Estate left, the debts being paid, my wife have to draw the third part as long as she lives, for her benefit, and the other two parts which are left, are to be divided among my children, and one shall have like as the other. Fifthly, that the place shall remain under my sons and not be sold, but my son Christian shall have the first right the place to rent or to take at a middle equitable price as it is right and Christianlike, but should Christian deem it too heavy for him to take and buy the place, then he shall take it in Lease until my son Joseph is on age, that they can take the place together. But, in case son Christian take alone the place, it is my will that my Executor allow him easy terms and drive him not too hard, but after a Christianlike and brotherly manner. While my wife draws the third part, he [Christian] shall pay out of the other two parts to the other children as much as either of them is to have, and after the death of the mother he shall pay the remaining third part in easy terms, of which one has to draw as much as the other. Sixthly, he shall keep for the mother one cow in pasture, to go with his own, also to keep her through the winter and feed her with hay, also for her own maintenance to give her every year twenty five bushels of good fall wheat, ten bushels of oats, three hundred pounds of pork with lard, twenty five dozen of eggs, the third part of the fruitage, to plant two bushels of potatoes and them to plough, to dig out and put into the cellar, the fourth part of the kitchen garden and also to manure it. He also must give her sixteen pounds of good wool, also to sow one Peg of Flax Seed, likewise, has the mother the right as long as she lives to have her firewood cut down on the land as much as she wants, and he must haul it for her and put it into the woodshed. All the above he has to deliver to the mother every year for her maintenance as her third part, but in case that he takes the place for some time into lease and the third part of the rent doth not reach as high as he must give to the mother, then my Executors must allow him to deduct so much from the rent charges, but in case my wife stands in need for more than the above mentioned, then my Executors shall have the right to give her so much more out of the whole undivided property. Minor children, namely Joseph and Magdalene stand under the oversight of the Executors, until they be on age, and my daughter Magdalene shall nurse the mother and remain with her until she be on age. As my Executors I nominate Nicolas Lichty and John Hundrich.

Witnesses Peter Litwiller and John L. Lichti.
