• Notes

  Mrs. Christian Widrick, Born March 13, 1869; Died June 4, 1923 This entire community was shocked when the sad news came that Mrs. Christian Widrick, daughter of the late Jacob and Katie Zehr Schrag, had departed this life. Although she was not expected to recover, death came as a severe blow to the family. Early in life she confessed Christ as her saviour and united with the Amish Mennonite church, of which she was a devoted and loyal member. She was born in Wilmot, Canada, March 13, 1869, and died June 4, 1923, at her home in Belfort, aged 54 years, 2 months, 22 days. She was united in marriage to Christian Widrick, February 21, 1888. Death was due to a complication of diseases and diabetes, the latter of which she had for fourteen years, and since that time had been in failing health. She bore her sufferings patiently and all that loving hands could do was not left undone. She was a loving wife and mother and was among the first to offer assistance where it was needed. The large attendance at the funeral showed the high esteem in which she was held. Besides her sorrowing husband she leaves to mourn her death three sons, John, Jacob and Jonas of Belfort; five daughters, Mrs. John Martin, Mrs. David Zehr and Anna Widrick, of Belfort; Mrs. Charles Wilcox, of Indian River; Mrs. Daniel R. Moshler, of Kirschnerville; two sisters, Mrs. Simon F. Lehman, of New Bremen; Mrs. Samuel Lilviller, of Canada; three brothers, Jacob Schrag of Lowville; Daniel and Mikael Schrag, of Canada; twenty grandchildren and a host of friends. Her parents, one sister, an infant daughter and four grandchildren preceded her to the great beyond. The funeral was held at the Amish Mennonite church at 10 o'clock, Thursday morning; thence to the Amish cemetery for burial. The pall bearers were Solomon, Daniel, Joseph and John Widrick, Andrew Roggie and Joseph Steria. Dearest mother thou has left us, And for you we often weep; Can we wish you back? No, never, Or disturb your peaceful sleep. Dearest mother thou hast left us, And our loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Journal & Republican, June 01, 1923
