Roth - John C, the last member of the Nichalaus Roth family of 8 children, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs Katie Wenger, Monday morning, Oct 11, 1943; aged 82 y, 7 m, 16 d.
Bro Roth was born on the old Roth homestead near Noble, Washington Co, Ia, Feb 25, 1861, and lived on the same place 60 years.
He accepted Christ as his Saviour in his youth and united with the Sugar Creek Mennonite Church of which he was a member; he was always a regular attendant as long as his health permitted.
On Dec 16, 1886, he was united in marriage with Mary Eicher of Archbold, O. He brought his bride to Iowa and resided on the Roth farm until 1923.
Their family consisted of 5 daughters, 2 of which died in infancy. When retiring from the farm they moved on a small acreage in the village of Noble. In the fall of 1942 they came to stay with their daughter in Wayland, Ia.
There seemed to be no change in his physical condition the last few years until about a week ago. A physician was called in and the family was informed that his heart condition was critical. The morning of his death no change in his condition was noticeable. He expressed his desire to recline on the davenport in the living room. While his wife left the room for a few minutes to make the necessary preparations, he suddenly passed away. He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife; 3 daughters (Mrs Emma Roth and Mrs Katie Wenger of the Wayland community, and Eliza, wife of Silas Zehr, Manson, Ia), 2 aged sisters-in-law (Mrs Mary Roth, Albany, Oregon, and Mrs Mary Laws, Wayland, Ia), 9 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends.
The services were held at the Sugar Creek Church Wednesday, at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by Bros Simon Gingerich and Willard Liechty. Interment in adjoining cemetery.
