About Jacob Rittenhouse Fretz

Gospel Witness - Volume 2, Number 50 - March 13, 1907, pages 799 and 800 FRETZ.-Jacob Fretz was born Dec. 16, 1838, in South Twp., Lincoln Co., Ont. He was stricken with paralysis, and after a few weeks of helplessness quietly passed away on Feb. 1, 1907, at his home near Jordan, Ont. His companion preceded him a few years ago. Five sons and two daughters yet remain, and while they are thus bereft of both parents it is not without a hope of being again united with them. He was a member of the Old Mennonite church. Funeral services were conducted on Feb. 4, at the Moyer M. H. by S. F. Coffman. Text, II Cor. 5:9. Interment in the burying-ground adjoining.
