Son of Christian J Neuenschwander and Katharina Neukomm.

Obituary: Abr. M. Neuenschwander was born Jan. 29, 1851, near Canton Berne, Switzerland; died June 16, 1925, at his home near Orrville, Ohio; aged 74 y. 4 m. 26 d. He with his parents, brothers and sisters, came to America in March, 1876, and made his home near Berne, Ind., from which place he moved 9 years ago, to Orrville, Ohio. On May 14, 1881, he was married to Miriam Moser. This union was blessed with 7 sons and 7 daughters. One son was called home and one daughter, almost 21 years old, followed the little brother while they were living in Indiana. Two years ago another daughter was called away with only a few days sickness, and his youngest son (Benjamin) died Feb. 2, last. The father had more or less heart trouble, and from that time on he seemed to fail much, and the last four weeks he longed to go home and meet the loved ones up yonder. He suffered from dropsy of the heart, and could not be in bed, but could help himself until a a few minutes before his death. On June 19 he was laid away to await the coming of the judgment day, leaving his sorrowing widow, 5 sons, 5 daughters 27 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and many relatives. On March 24, 1925, as his health failed a brother was ordained to his place as deacon for the Sonnenberg congregation, in which capacity he had faithfully served. The funeral was held by the home ministers, Jacob Moser, Louis Amstutz, and C. N. Amstutz.
"Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry;
One by one, beyond recall.
Our friends depart and die."
