Jacob John Christman The Spirit of Democracy Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio, Wed., April 24, 1929 John Christman was born June 5, 1867, and departed from this life April 6, 1929, at the age of 61 years, 10 moths, and 1 day. He was at St. Peter?s Evangelical Church, Lewisville, Ohio, in early youth. Later his membership was transferred to St. John?s Evangelical Church of Summit township, where he was a member until death. He was the son of Jacob and Fredrica Pfalzgraf Christman. He was united in marriage March 13, 1894, to Rachel Matz and to this union were born eight children: Mrs. Bertha Christman Neuhardt, Mrs. Edna Christman Young and Elmer Christman, of near Lewisville; Mrs. Oneida Christman Ludwig of Woodsfield; Mrs. Ruby Mann, Zelda and Gladys Christman of the home; one son preceded him in infancy. He had been in failing health for several months but an attack of influenza caused complications which could not be overcome. Mr. Christman was a prosperous farmer, good neighbor, a devoted husband and father and not only will his loss be keenly felt in the home but in the entire community as well. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday morning at St. John?s Evangelical Church of Summit township by his pastor, the Reverend Chester Guam in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives. The remains were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery there. At the grave the services were conducted by the Barnhart Grange No. 1850 of which he had been a member for many years. Many beautiful floral offerings attested the sympathy of friends and relatives. He leaves to mourn his departure besides his faithful wife and children, ten grandchildren, and ten brothers, and sisters as follows: Mrs. Barbara Jackson, Mrs. William Ackerman, Louis Christman, of Woodsfield; Mrs. George Weber, Mrs. Fred Weber, Mrs. Louis Heft, Misses Tillie and Louise Christman, George and David Christman all of the vicinity of Lewisville. God moves in a way that is very mysterious to us and so often we cannot understand but if we only trust Him, His grace will ever be sufficient for us. The family has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community and we pray that God may send his comforter to those who mourn. V. L. F.
