Notes
The date '1827' seems to be erroneous or a typo, as there was no formal settlement of Germans in Northwest Missouri until the Platte Purchase, and German newspapers like the Volksblatt wouldn't have popped up until the 1860s or 1870s.
This obituary could likely be for John Hubacher, the father of Christian Hubacher and the Grandfather of Edna Hubacher. John passed away in 1847 in Switzerland, meaning this may have originated from a Swiss newspaper. Alternatively, this could be an Obituary for Christian Hubacher, as the name suggests. Christian Hubacher passed away in 1913.
