Notes:

Bachert - On the 9th of Nov, 1886, in Elkhart Co, Ind, of paralysis, Bro Jacob Bachert, aged 43 years, 8 months and 3 days.

He had been suffering from cancers, and had gone to Bro Moses Erb, in Waterloo Co, Ont, to have them removed. On the evening of the day on which he returned home, was taken with paralysis, from which however, he somewhat recovered, but another attack entirely disabled him, and also destroyed the power of speech.

He was a man that was beloved and respected by all who knew him, and led a consistent, devoted Christian life, and we need therefore not mourn as those who have no hope.

Funeral services were held, by A Mumaw, Henry Shaum and J F Funk, from 2 Cor 5:1.

He leaves a deeply afflicted companion, also brothers and sisters. May God temper this storm of affliction to these sorrowing hearts.

He had been a member of the Mennonite Church since 1872.
