The following is the translated obituary originally written in Wendish by Pastor Jan Kilian:
John Herman Noack, second son from the second marriage of Michael Noack, farmer at Serbin on Knobbs Branch, died at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, 13 October 1866 and was buried two days later in St Paul's Cemetery, Serbin, Texas. Pastor Kilian said the standard prayer at the grave. John died from fever and cramps after living two years, six months, and five days. He is survived by his parents, two brothers, one sister, three step brothers, one step sister, one grandfather and one grandmother.
We remember with love and honor John Herman, the second son from the second marriage of Michael Noack, who farms at Knobbs Branch. The Lord called him home from this world a week ago yesterday at 7:45 in the evening, and his remains were given a Christian burial after a benediction and a short prayer this past Monday.
He was born on 8 April 1864. He leaves behind his grieving parents, Michael Noack and Maria née Handrick from Serbin. At his baptism he was given the names John and Herman and they were entered into the book of life. He grew to the joy of his parents until Thursday a week ago when he was seized with a severe fever. Then a week ago yesterday he was overcome with severe cramps, which continued without letting up. He fell into eternal sleep one week ago at 7:45 p.m. He was two years, six months, and five days old.
May the Lord comfort the grieving parents; two grieving brothers, John Paul and John; sister Theresia Bertha; three stepbrothers, August Ernest, Carl August, and Ernest Emil; stepsister Johanna Wilhelmina; grandparents John and Anna Handrick, who farm in Serbin; as well as other friends, near and far.
Thanks to sponsor Henry Wenke and his wife, Anna, for furnishing the wreath; to sponsor Matthew Schulze and his wife, Magdalena, for the wreath; to sponsors Agnes Kappler and her husband and Maria Neitsch and her husband for the bouquets of flowers; to grandfather and grandmother Handrick for all of their love; to Agnes and Magdalena Handrick for their gift; to Maria Domaschk and Maria Falke for the adornments; to the Andrew Falke family for their expressions of love; to father Schulze for transporting the body, both grave diggers, and all of the mourners.
As a memorial, we sing the hymn 502, "Now I Am Gone Away to the Earth."
