John Adam Gertler was born in Nothweiler Phalz, Bavaria, September 30, 1815 and died at his home at Ozark, Ohio, March 4, 1896.
In 1840 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Margaret Kuntz, and in 1855 they sailed for this country, landing in New Orleans and coming up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to Monroe County, Ohio.
Besides his wife Mr. Gertler is survived by three children-Adam, Louisa and Mrs. Katharine Karch, all of Ozark-eighteen grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
He was a member of the German Luthern Church of Woodsfield.
He died of old age, and was never sick excepting during the last year.
His funeral took place last Friday at Ozark, Rev. W. Brucker conducting the services.
?Why should we weep for those who die?
They fall ? Their dust returns to dust;
Their souls shall live eternally
Within the mansions of the just.
