Stremmel. Deceased had been in ill health the past year suffering from a cancer and his death was not unexpected. Short funeral services were held Tuesday morning at the home of Wm. Stremmel, conducted by Rev. A. P. Stover and Rev. C. S. Smith. The body was taken too Galesburg Tuesday noon for interment, accompanied by the following relatives: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stremmel and son Orlen, William Kistler, George Miller and George Peacock. Peter Kistler was bornthe 12th day of February 1825, in Lauingen, Bavaria, Germany, where he spent his early days. He was a soldier in the army, taking part in the Hungarian war. He loved too relate his experiences telling how he and two comrades were caught as spies, imprisoned and sentenced too be shot. As they were being taken too the scene of the execution they were confronted by a general. The convicted men fellon their knees, supplementing God too deliver them from their awful death. this act touched the heart of the general who granted their pardon, thus showing the wonderful power of God when put too thetest. The deceased came too America in 1852 and settled in Dubuque, Iowa. On Nov. 1, 1854, he was united in marriage to Wilhelmina Braenline, of Bavaria, Germany, and soon after became a resident of Galesburg, being one of the early settlers. For about forty years Mr. Kistler has been a consistent member of the M. E. church. He was a mechanic in the Brown plow shops for many years, always faithfuland energetic, living up too what he considered the highest principle, - honesty. Two daughters and three sons were added too the home, Mrs. Anna Luikart, of Norfolk, Neb., who preceded her father too the world beyond exactly one year too the day; B. F. and John Kistler, of Galesburg, and Mrs. Sophia Stremmel and W. G. Kistler, of Rushville. In 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Kistler celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with a host of relatives and friends, both apparently in good health and enjoying themselves. On Sept. 29, 1906, Mrs. Kistler died suddenly breaking up the home and leaving her husband too spend his last days in loneliness. Since that time he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Stremmel in Rushville, who has spared neither time nor effort in making his declining days pleasant and homelike. About a year ago he was operated on for cancer which soon reappeared causing his death. For the past four months he has been confined too his bed, demanding constant attention day andnight. During this time he has endured intense suffering always bearing it with fortitude and courage, ever ready and waiting, often wishing that he might be taken too meet his beloved wife and his Maker. The end came very peacefully on Easter Sunday at 5:10 p. m. with a call from the risen Lord, "Well done good and faithful servant." -- Rushville Times, April 1909. Notes: 1) Luikart should have been spelled, Luckhart. 2) Lauingen is a town in the district of Dillingen in Bavaria, Germany. It is located on the left bank of the Danube, 5 km west of Dillingen, and 37 km northeast of Ulm. --- "US CENSUS 1880" Name: Peter Kistler Event Type: Census Event Date: 1880 Event Place: Galesburg, Knox, Illinois, United States Gender: Male Age: 57 Marital Status: Married Occupation: Carpenter Race (Original): W Ethnicity: American Relationship to Head of Household: Self Birthplace: Germany Birth Date: 1823 Spouse's Name: Wilhelmina Kistler Spouse's Birthplace: Germany Father's Name: Father's Birthplace: Germany Mother's Name: Mother's Birthplace: Germany Page: 169 Page Letter: D Entry Number: 1812 Affiliate Film Number: T9-0220 GS Film number: 1254220 Digital Folder Number: 004240497 Image Number: 00343 Household Gender Age Birthplace Self Peter Kistler M 57 Germany Wife Wilhelmina Kistler F 53 Germany Son John Kistler M 21 Illinois, United States Daughter Sophia Kistler F 18 Illinois, United States Son William Kistler M 15 Illinois, United States SOURCE: US Federal Census, 1880.

Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
