Notes:

Schlabach.-Christian Schlabach was born in Hessen, Germany, Dec. 29, 1829; died at his home near Roanoke, Ill., Dec. 14, 1921; aged 91 y. 11 m. 15 d. He immigrated to Canada in the year 1846 and later moved to Woodford Co., Ill., where he lived the remainder of his life. In early life he united with the Mennonite Church, of which he was a faithful member until called by death. In 1855 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Garber, who preceded him in death four years ago. To this union were born eleven children, seven of whom preceded them in death, and four surviving; namely, Mrs. John Miller, Chris of Metamora, Mrs. Will Zimmerman, and John. We shall ever remember him as a kind, and loving father and grandfather, hoping to meet him and other loved ones in yonder glory. After living many years on this earth, he could look back over his past life, in his last moments, just before passing away, and say with the Apostle Paul, when he wrote II Tim. 4: 7: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Beside the children he leaves 29 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, and a host of friends. Services were conducted at the house by Peter Garber and at the Roanoke Church by Peter D. Schertz and Andrew Schrock. Interment in the cemetery nearby.
