JOHN ADAM ZUENDEL
3-18-1819 -- 2-10-1905
John Adam Zuendel, one of German Hill's oldest residents, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lavina Hesburn, near Kellettville, where he had been visiting Friday evening, Feb. 10th, 1905, after an illness of about 10 days of pneumonia. Deceased was aged nearly 85 years, and is survived by one son, Frank, and the daughter above mentioned; also by one brother, Conrad of Erie Co., and two sisters, Mrs. A. B. Root of Tionesta, and Mrs. William White residing in Kansas. His wife preceded him in death nearly 30 years ago.
Mr. Zuendel was a native of Hesse Cassel, Germany, near the city of Leipzig, where he was born March 18, 1819. He came to this country about the year 1845, and settled near his relatives, clearing a farm at what is now Starr post office, where he continued to reside during all these years. By honest toil, industry and thrift he became one of the well-to-do farmers of his community, and by his kindly disposition toward his neighbors he won and retained to the last their high esteem. Mr. Zuendel was a consistent Christian, having in early life united with the Reformed church, which membership was afterwards transferred to the Evangelical Association, in which faith he passed away.
As one of the pioneers of this section he will be missed and mourned by his friends and neighbors. Funeral services were held on Monday, conducted by Rev. F. M. Small, and his remains were laid to rest in the Zuendel churchyard near where he had spent the greater portion of his life.
