text of obituary:
Samuel Siegrist geb. am 10. April 1853 in Canton Berne, Schweiz starb am 10. Aug. 1942 im Alter von 89 Jahren und 4 Monaten. Er kam als 20 jähriger Jüngling nach Amerika und brachte den grösten Teil seines Lebens in der Gegend von Fort Wayne, Vera Cruz und Berne, Ind. zu. Er war mit Elisabeth Bischoff verheiratet, die mit einer Tochter, acht Enkel und vier Urenkel ihn überleben. Vier Söhne und eine Tochter sind vorangegangen. Er war Glied der 1. Mennoniten Gemeinde und besuchte die Gottesdienste solange er konnte. Er war lange kränklich und wurde immer schwächer und sehnte sich sehr heimzugehen. An seinem Begräbnis dienten die Brüder N. J. Schmuker von der Wehrlosen Mennonitengemeinde Berne und George Holston von Linn Grove.
