Read More	Peter aka Richard - Peter Richard was born in Blamont, France, March 26, 1858. When seventeen years of age he came to America, making Wayne Co, Ohio, his home for some time, later he came to the community of Noble, Iowa. On Nov 5, 1891, he was united in marriage with Elizabeth Schantz. No children were born to this union. They lived on a small farm in this community until 1910, when they moved to Salem, Oreg. Bro Richard not being very strong physically, he benefitted some from the western climate. However, in the Spring of 1930 they came back to Iowa residing in the village of Noble. He was converted while still in his native country and united with the Amish Mennonite Church. When he came to America he transferred his membership to congregations of his faith in the several communities where he lived. At his marriage he transferred his membership to the Eicher Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful member when he passed away. For a number of years his health seemed to be on the wane. During this time he fell several times, causing painful injuries from which he recovered slowly. For the last few years those closely associated with him saw him gradually weakening. He, too, was not unmindful of the fact and frequently expressed himself as being ready to go. The teachings of the Bible were precious and comforting to him. On Thursday evening, Jan 28, 1937, he fell peacefully asleep; aged 78 y, 10 m, 2 d. He was the last surviving member of a family of four. He leaves his wife, 5 nieces, 7 nephews, and many friends and neighbors to mourn their loss. Funeral services were held Jan 31 from his late home in Noble by Simon Gingerich and at the Eicher Mennonite Church by Delbert Welty and Simon Gingerich. Texts, Phil 4 & John 14. Burial in the cemetery near the church. Gospel Herald Vol XXIX, No 46 11 February 1937
