Krehbiel. — Peter Krehbiel, Sohn von Johannes und Maria Krehbiel, wurde am 3. Juni 1834 auf dem Weierhof in der Rheinpfalz, Deutschland, geboren. Im Jahre 1849 wurde er von dem damaligen Prediger Reeder getauft.

Im Jahre 1852 wanderte er mit seiner Mutter und Geschwistern aus nach Amerika und siedelten sich in Franklin Tp., Lee Co., Iowa, an, wo er auch seitdem lebte bis ihn der Herr am 19. Mai 1921 abrief. Er brachte sein Alter auf 86 Jahre, 11 Monate und 16 Tage.

Am 13. November 1870 trat er in den heiligen Ehestand mit Susanna Krehbiel, welche ihm etwa 4 Jahren voran ging. Aus dieser Ehe entsprossen 4 Kinder, 2 Söhne und 2 Töchter, von denen der jüngste Sohn in seinem zarten Kindesalter seinen Eltern durch den Tod entrissen wurde. Die letzten 6 Wochen hatte er schwer zu leiden an der Wassersucht. Er trug seine Leiden mit Geduld und mit völliger Ergebenheit. Er war ein stiller Mann und ein großer Freund von christlichen Schriften und Büchern. Etwa vor 5 Jahren verlor er sein Gesicht, welches ihm sene Freude am Lesen störte, aber sein Geist war doch noch viel beschäftigt mit dem, was er früher gelesen hatte, und &oouml;fters mußten seine Kinder vorlesen.

Er hinterläßt 1 Sohn und 2 Töchter, eine betagte blinde Schwägerin und einen Schwager, einen Bruder und eine Schwester in Kansas, und einen großen Kreis von Verwandten und Freunden, seinen Tod zu betrauern.

Die Leichenfeier fand am 21. Mai 1921 in der Zions Kirche statt unter der Leitung von Pred. Elmer Basinger. Er sprach über Pred. 12, 7. Die Beerdigung fand auf dem Mennoniten Grabhof statte.
