John Gsell b. 1842 s/o William and Maria Gsell married Elizabeth Etter. (transcribed Elter) They took into their family Elizabeth and Mary Dutcher.
John GSELL, In Whiteside Co., Ill, on the 8th of Sept., of typhoid fever, aged 38 years, 6 months and 18 days. He was buried on the 10th; and leaves a deeply afflicted wife and five children to mourn his early departure. Services by Henry Nice and _____Zellers from Rev. 14:13. He was followed to the grave by a very large concourse of relatives and friends. (Gospel Herald)
NOTE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR (Denise): This information has been posted to clarify the misspelling of the surname Etter. The biographies posted on this site show the name spelled as Elter. I transcribe ver batim and this was not a typo. So I asked her to post the correction on this msg. board. I would recommend this to all who find things misspelled (not typo) for the benefit of others researching the name. Thank You, Denise

GSELL. - Margaret Etter was born in Franklin Co., Pa., Mar. 11, 1843; died after an illness which she bore patiently, Dec. 30, 1912; aged 69y. 9m. 19d. She moved to Whiteside Co., Ill., with the Gsell family in March, 1865, and was united in marriage to Joseph B. Gsell, Mar. 18, 1860. To this union were born 7 children, 2 of whom, (Mary E., wife of John McCulloh; and Wm. E.) preceded her to the spirit world. Those who survive her are Mrs. Maros Snavely, Mrs. A.S. McCulloh, Mrs. Menno Steiner, Jos. E. Gsell and Mrs. Floyd Annan. She also was the foster mother of Mrs. John Nice of Ustick, Ill. Besides her children she leaves to mourn her loss a sorrowing husband (who walked hand in hand and heart in heart with her for almost 47 years), and an aged brother, John Etter of Lafayette, Ind., one sister Elizabeth Gsell, who lives in Morrison for many years the widow of John B. Gsell, 23 grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. When about 15 years of age she united with the Dunkard Church which she served faithfully for many years but afterwards became a member of the Mennonite Church and remained a faithful member until death. She was a kind and affectionate wife and mother and lived for her husband, children and grandchildren and all those who knew her. But those who knew her best loved her most. Funeral services were held at the Mennonite Church near Morrison by Bro. A.H. Leaman of the Home Mission in Chicago. Text, Jas. 4:14. (Gospel Herald)
