Notes:

ERB. - Christian Erb was born January 22d, 1852 in Oxford county, Ontario, Canada. At the age of 25 years he left Canada, for Iowa, where he remained 2 years, and then came to the Seward Co., Neb. On Jan. 13th, 1884, he married Annie Springer of Seward Co., Neb., and settled down for life 5 miles south-west of Milford, where he lived until his Master called him to the better land beyond. They lived in matrimony 10 y., 11 m., 4 d. About a year ago he took sick from which he never totally recovered, and on Tuesday morning Dec. 11th a sudden attack overtook him, whereafter he suffered severe pain until the shadow of death came over him and relieved him from his suffering. On Saturday Dec. 15th four physicians operated on him cutting his side open to more particularly examine his intestines, trying to remedy his disease but to their astonishment they saw that it was too late to do any good as he was suffering of consumption of the bowels. He died on Monday, Dec. 17th, 1894, leaving his widow and 3 children, one daughter and two sons, to mourn their loss, one son having preceded him to eternity, but they mourn not as such that have no hope. He lived to the age of 42 y., 10 m., 25 d. May the Lord comfort the bereaved. He was buried on the 18th in the Fairview cemetery. Services by Joseph Schlegel, from 1 Cor. 15: 54 - 58, and Joseph Gascho, from Daniel 5: 1 - 10. Peace to his ashes.
