Edgerton
George, oldest son of Frederick and Barbara Rembert Dietsch was born in Alsace, 
France, September 27, 1841. In 1852 he came to America using a sail boat for 
the vayage, which it took four months to accomplish. They settled down in 
Newark, Wayne Co., New York. 
He was united in marriage to Angeline Fork on February 1, 1863 and they started 
housekeeping in Toledo, Ohio where he had employment as railroad carpenter. To 
this union seven children were born, George, Lottie, Charles H., Alvin F., 
Edith E. Fisher, Olive M. Criswell, and Ernest E. In 1878 the happy family 
moved to St. Joseph township, Williams Co., Ohio. They lived there two years 
when he bought and moved on his present farm in Milford Township. 
Two of his children, George and Lottie were called to the spirit world in 
infancy. His wife preceded him in death on May 7, 1909, but he continued 
keeping the home just as she left it, so it would seem more homelike whenever 
the children, who all live close to home would come. Thou he lived in his home, 
he now ate his three meals a day at the home of his youngest son, Ernest, who 
lives next door. The latter's two children were now an especially great 
companion and pastime for him. 
The subject of this sketch was baptized in infancy and was confirmed in the St 
Paul's Lutheran Church in Toledo, Ohio. In later years he supported the 
Presbyterian Church of Edgerton. Three years ago he sickened of the dread 
disease of which he also died. The children did all in their power to make the 
sunset of his life as bright and cheerful ans loving hands and tender care 
could do. 
He departed this life Dec. 8, 1922, aged 82 years, 2 months and 11 days. He 
leaves to mourn his departure a brother in Utica, Nebraska, five children, 
fourteen grandchildren, many relatives and friends. Their earthly loss was his 
eternal gain. 
the funeral was held from the Presbyterian church, Monday p.m. conducted by 
Rev. P. W. Plueddemann and was largely attended. 


"Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding,
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting calmly say "Thy will be done." 
By thy hands the boon was given,
Thou has taken but thine own,
Lord of earth, and God in heaven,
Evermore, "Thy will be done." 
- Thomas Hastings 

CARD OF THANKS

We take this opportunity to thank our neighbors and friends for their kindness 
and sympathy during the long illness, and in the death of our father, and the 
choir for the music. 
THE CHILDREN
