JOHN J. SCHRAG
Our father, John J. Schrag, son of Joseph and Anna Stucky Schrag, was born on February 14, 1861, in the colony of Edwarddorf, Kries Province, Russich, Polen. He came to America with his parents in 1874, when the whole congregation came, and the family came along.
He was baptized upon the confession of his faith by Elder Jacob Stucky, and was received into the Hoffnungsfeld church as a member on April 14, 1876, at the early age of fifteen. He remained a faithful member of his church until his death.
On February 7, 1884, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Stucky, who was the daughter of Elder Jacob and Anna Stucky. Their union was blessed with eleven sons and two daughters. Three children, Anna, David and Samuel, and three grandchildren and two daughters-in-law preceded him in death.
