- ↑ Boshart.-Jacob B., son of Christian E. and Katherine Boshart,
was born Dec. 11, 1850, in Wellesley, Ont. In 1878 he moved to
Milford, Neb. In the spring of 1919, he moved to Albany, Oreg.,
at which place he died at the home of his daughter (Mrs. Lydia
Gerig) Aug. 26, 1936; aged 85 y. 8 m. 15 d. The cause of his
death was a heart attack which he suffered while sitting in a
rocking chair. On March 27, 1888, he was united in wedlock with
Mary Reck. This union was blest with 14 children. His wife
preceded him in death June 22, 1933; also 2 sons and 1 daughter
(Albert, Mrs. Leah Roth, and Edward J.). Those surviving are:
Mrs. Katie Reil and Joe C. of Milford, Neb.; Mrs. Emma Roth of
Chappell, Neb.; Mrs. Mary Stutzman, Mrs. Lydia Gerig, Dan, Mrs.
Ida Gerig, David, Mrs. Bertha Gerig, Harry, and Elmer, all of
Albany, Oreg. Surviving also are 55 grandchildren, 1
great-grandson, 2 brothers and 2 sisters (Daniel of Woodriver,
Neb.; David of Milford, Neb.; Mrs. Katie Kuepfer and Mrs. Marie
Brenneman of Albany, Oreg.). He accepted Christ as his Savior
in his early years and united with the Amish Mennonite Church,
in which faith he died, "looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ."
"Father, we will miss thee often,
When we see the vacant chair;
But we know that God in heaven
Doth our heartaches help to bear.
We will meet thee soon in heaven
When our voyage of life is o'er,
And in yonder streets of heaven
Where we will meet to part no more."
Funeral services were held Aug. 31 at the Fairview Mennonite
Church by N. A. Lind. Burial in Riverside Cemetery, Albany.
