  [S927] Obituary. Frederick Christman [Source: The Spirit of DemocracyIssue: Woodsfield, Ohio, Thurs., April 20, 1911 Collection of Gertrude Christman Kahrig] Frederick Christman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Christman, born in Lower Steinbach, France, August 23, 1820, died March 18, 1911, aged 90 years, 6 months and 25 days. He emigrated to this country at the age of 11 years. The family settled at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and at the age of 17, he moved with the family to the farm now owned by Mr. Orlan Hanke, south of Mowrystown. He was baptized in the Lutheran Church in infancy. After moving to this country, he united with the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Arnheim, where he remained an active member until March 28, 1891, when he united with the Presbyterian Church at Mowrystown. He was married to Eva Diehl, April 10, 1853, and to this union there were born ten children; six girls and four boys. He leaves a wife, seven children, 23 grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. He became afflicted 15 years ago which prevented him from attending divine services, but through all this sickness, he was quiet, patient and subservient to the will of his Maker. He became suddenly worse on Friday evening and continued to grow worse until 2 o=clock on Saturday morning when death relieved him of all his earthly trials and sufferings. His last words were AI am going. Mr. Christman was an honest, upright citizen, who valued his word as his bond and whenever he made an agreement he fulfilled it regardless of what his loss might be. Funeral service were held at the Mowrystown Presbyterian Church March 20, 1911, at 2 o=clock in the afternoon. Deceased was a brother-in-law of Mr. Fred Diehl and had a large connection of other relatives in Monroe County.
