• Notes

  Mrs. Christian Baechler The grim reaper of death has taken another of our highly esteemed residents of this district when Mrs. Christian Baechler was called to her eternal rest on Tuesday of this week at the age of 64 years, 10 months and 21 days. The late Mrs. Baechler had not been in good health for several months, but a bad cold developed a few weeks ago and finally a paralytic stroke was the cause of her demise. The deceased was a resident of South Easthope for the past thirty-three years and she endeared herself through her Christian qualities in life to a wide circle of friends. She was an ardent and devout adherent of the Amish-Mennonite faith. The late Mrs. Baechler was a daughter of the late Christian Schrag and was born in Wilmot Township where she spent her youth. After her marriage to her now bereaved husband she lived for a few years on a farm on the 15th line of East Zorra and for the past 33 years resided on the farm in South Easthope, where she passed away. There are left to mourn her passing her sorrowing husband, one son and four daughters, besides 16 grandchildren. The children are Christian on the homestead, (Katie) Mrs. Peter Schultz, of Topping, (Veronica), Mrs. Sam Bender and (Susanna) Mrs. Peter Both, New Hamburg, and (Sarah) Mrs. Michael Jutzi, East Zorra. She is also survived by two brothers, Christian Schrag, of Zurich, Daniel Schrag of Leonardville, N. Y., and one sister, Mrs. Peter Both, of Wilmot.
