Wayland News – July 15, 1926

Michael P. Krabill, son of Peter and Fanny Yaggy Krabill, was born in Stark County, Ohio October 2, 1857 and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Seth Roth, July 8, 1926, age 68 years, 9 months, and 6 days. When he was about 18 years of age he moved with his parents to Logan County, Ohio. On December 16, 1880 he was married to Mary Miller of Stark County, Ohio, after which they made their home in Logan County Ohio. This union lasted about four years when his wife died in October, 1884. In the early spring of 1886 he came to Iowa and located in Henry County.

On October 7, 1886 he was married to Katherine Wyse. To this union were born five children, three sons and two daughters. Again the Death Angel visited his home and took away his wife on March 5, 1909.

Those of his children remaining to mourn their loss are Omer of Albany, Oregon; Lester and Mrs. Seth Roth of Wayland, Iowa; Mrs. Earl Hochstettler of Kalona, Iowa; and 13 grandchildren. His oldest son, Elmer, preceded him in death about two years ago.

Of his brothers yet living there are Chris (half brother), Dan and Eli of Bellefontaine, Ohio; David of Washington State; William of Winfield, Iowa; and Peter of Omaha, Nebraska. One half brother, Jacob, and one half sisters, Mary Schlonecker preceded him in death some years ago.

He confessed Christ as his Saviour and united with the Amish Mennonite Church when a young man. He enjoyed his Christian life and death came like a fulfillment to his wishes.

Michael was of a healthy nature until several years ago when he became afflicted with diabetes. He fought the disease as long as human strength could resist, bearing the pain patiently. At last after several months of intense pain he passed to his Eternal reward. Funeral services in charge of the Rev. Simon Gingerich and Rev. Daniel Graber were held at the home of Mrs. Seth Roth and at the Amish church.
