OBIT: Andrew Kindschi was born Sept. 13, 1841, in Davos, Graubünden, Switzerland and died at Clatonia, Jan. 5, 1920, aged 78 years, three months and 22 days. He grew up in Wis. His sister belonged to the Methodist church. He after becoming acquainted with them, realized they enjoyed a religious experience which he came greatly to desire.
After earnest and protracted seeking in a revival meeting he was converted and joined the Methodist church. Ever afterwards religion was a matter of the first importance
with him. Four years later, hearing of the good pportunities of acquiring land cheaply or taking homesteads, he in company with several others went to Kansas with a wagon drawn by oxen instead of our modern leisurely way of traveling by train. Because of a drouth
there that summer they did not like the country and started home through Nebraska. Coming through Centerville the early settlers there urged them to stay. But he alone had the courage for the frontier life and stayed. Through Lewis Drewing he came to Clatonia Creek and bought a relinquishment on eighty acres which became the family homestead. In 1874 in Lincoln through Rev. Unland he was married to Elizabeth Abrend who had come over with the Frickes and was a member of the Methodist church. To them were born seven children; Andrew of Fort Collins, Colo.; Henry, of Clatonia, Ella who died in infancy, Anna Smith, Kawanda, Neb., August, living here, Marie Klusman of Yuma, Colo. and Edward of Liberal, Kan. In 1904, they left the farm and moved to Clatonia. His death is mourned by his wife, six children and a sister, Margaret Prader of New Rockford, Wisc. and his brothers: Paul Kindschi, Alma, Wisc.; and Tobias Kindschi of Clatonia, fourteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Through the good teaching and the example of him and his wife, their children are all in the church and active workers. His faith was simple but unwavering. His loyalty to to the church and everything good was unflagging. His daily faithful and cheerful living were an even stronger testimony to a genuine experience of religion than his fervent prayers and soulful witnessing in the church. He was ready for the end and greatly desired to be with his Lord who he loved.
