This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.
It has pleased Almighty God to take from this vale of tears unto Himself in heaven, Emma the little daughter and only child of Chas. Riedel, a well known resident of Chatfield township, Crawford county, Ohio. Her young life was ended on the 11th day of September, 1891, having reached the age of 1 yr. 11 mo, 10 da., Cholera Infantum was the cause. Little Emma was in due time by Holy Baptism received into the church of the Redeemer who has now taken her to His bosom. May this be the comfort of the sorrowing parents and relatives.
