With his parents he came to Missouri in the spring of 1874, and ever since made his home in and around Garden City. He united with the Mennonite Church in his youth and was always a faithful member. In 1881 he was united in marriage to Fannie Yost, of Fairbury, Neb. To this union six children were born, five of whom survive, one having died in infancy. Those surviving are Mrs. A. L. Kaup, Mrs. Clyde E. Jones, Mrs. Redmond H. Breed, LaVerne E.; and Harold L. Three brothers (Jacob B., Noah J., and Daniel J.), two sisters (Mrs. Forest Allison and Emma Klopfenstein), besides a host of other relatives and friends remain. A short prayer service was held at the family home then the body was conveyed to the Sycamore Grove Mennonite Church where funeral services were conducted by Levi J. Miller, assisted by Charles R. Swofford, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. The body was laid to rest in the Garden City cemetery. His sudden death came as a shock to his family and community, because he was considered on the road of complete recovery. About two weeks previous to his death, as he was gathering up his tools at the close of the day he was tripped by a board catching his foot, thus causing him to fall, landing side of his back on the corner of a box near by containing tin shingles causing his death. Shortly before three o'clock Sunday morning, May 23, he told his wife he was getting too warm and asked that she raise the window and call the family physician. When the Dr. arrived a few moments later he informed Sister Schrock she had better call her children, as death was but a matter of a few moments. He was dead when they arrived. A brother.
