OBITUARY
GASCHO.-March 18th, in Livingston Co., Ill., John Gascho, aged 39 years and 21 days. His remains were laid to rest on the 20th, followed by many relatives and friends, assembled from far and near to pay their last respects to their departed friend. Services were held in the house of Christian Schlegel by Peter Schantz, of Lee County, Iowa, who was in that vicinity on a visit. And at the meeting-house by Joseph Grieser and Peter Schantz, from 1 Cor. 15, and some words at the grave by J. Schmidt.
Brother Gascho suffered much from phthisic for a number of years. Oftentimes he spent the entire night in his chair.
He suffered more than ordinarily about five days. A few minutes before he died, his wife asked him whether she should send for the doctor: He replied. No one can help me: the Lord has released many, he too can release me, and so he died. He was a member of the Amish Church, and leaves a sorrowing companion and four children, the youngest being only 2 weeks old. He also leaves an aged mother who could not follow him to the grave.--Transcribed by Jan Wilbur, Utah, from HERALD OF TRUTH - Volume XX, Number 8 - April 15, 1883.
