Oesch.--John W., son of John and Mary Amanda (Smith) Oesch was born Dec. 10, 1872 in Hickory Co., Mo.; died at his home near Creston, Mont., from a cancerous tumor, on Sept. 28, 1936, at the age of 63 y. 9 m. 18 d. On Jan. 17, 1896 he was married to Mary E. Kenagy and to this union were born 3 sons and 3 daughters. In the spring of 1917 he with his family moved to Montana where he has since resided. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, 5 children (Mrs. Beulah Miller of Kalispell, Mrs. Lela Lapp and Harold of near Creston, Vernon and Berniece at home), 11 grandchildren, his aged father, 4 brothers (Joe, Will, Sam, and Jake), and 3 sisters (Mrs. Mary Kenagy, Anna, and Mrs. Edna Yoder). One son, his mother and 2 sisters preceded him. In the community he was appreciated as a good upright neighbor; in the church his counsel and service as deacon, in which he faithful served since 1924, will be missed much; in the home his place as husband and father cannot be filled. He made all arrangements for the funeral before his passing, and looked forward to the change for better things. It is our loss but his eternal gain. Funeral services were held at the Wagganer and Campbell Funeral Home on Oct. 1 by J. G. Hochstetler from the texts of his choice, Phil. 1:21; Rev. 14:13
