Notes |
- Gascho.-Leah Zehr, daughter of Michael and Barbara Boshart Zehr, was born near Wellesley, Ont., Aug. 15, 1857; peacefully fell asleep in Jesus May 12, 1944, at her home in Baden, Ont.; aged 86 y. 8 m. 27 d. She accepted Christ in her youth and was a faithful member of the Amish Mennonite Church till called to her heavenly home. She had a lingering illness of bronchial and heart trouble for 19 years, and the last 3 months jaundice set in. On Oct. 1, 1878, she was united in marriage to Christian Gascho of Baden, Ont., who was later ordained to the ministry and served in the Wilmot A. M. congregation for almost 50 years. To this union were born 5 daughters and one son: Mrs. Fannie Iutzi, Baden, Ont.; Barbara, Mrs. Samuel Steinman, New Hamburg, Ont.; Mattie, Mrs. N. M. Steinman, Baden, Ont.; Lydia, at home; Emanuel Gascho, Kitchener, Ont.; Lovina, Mrs. Solomon Mayer, Pigeon, Mich. (deceased). Seven grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren also survive. Her companion, one daughter, one great-granddaughter, her parents, and all her brothers and sisters preceded her in death. She had a great longing to leave this life of suffering and be at rest. She was a very kind and devoted mother to her family. Her Bible was her comfort and stay in life. Her last words were, "Through Jesus Christ our Lord." Her children rise up and call her blessed. Funeral services were conducted May 15 at her late home by Bro. Menno Wagler, and by Bros. M. O. Jantzi and C. F. Derstine at the A. M. Church west of Baden.
