A contractor with the Burlington railroad for many years died December 27, 1924 at the Mercy hospital from hemorrhages of the stomach. He was born in Frank, Russia on May 31, 1859. In October 1878 he was married to Anna Margaretha Walker. Immediately thereafter they emigrated to America and first settled in Sutton. Two years later they moved to Culbertson. It was here that Brother Eisenach became acquainted with the Methodist church, during the pastorate of the Rev. G. Becker, who built the church in Culbertson and organized a fine congregation. Brother Eisenach was one of the first members that joined the church and was one of the Trustees and the energetic and beloved Sunday School Superintendent for seven years, during which time the work in the church and Sunday school prospered under God's blessings.
In 1901 the family, which union was blessed with seven children, of whom one child died in infancy, and later Mrs. Katherine Jones of Denver, preceded the father in death, came to Denver, Colorado where Brother Eisenach found work with the Burlington railroad, and thru his faithfulness and business ability was made a foreman and contractor for the stockyard freight cars which he successfully supervised.
After he decided to remain in Denver, Brother Eisenach had his church letter transferred from Culbertson, Nebraska, June 1902 to the German M.E. church in north Denver, during the time of the pastorate of the Rev. W. Fricke and was a faithful worker and attendant of the means of Grace.
On Thursday, December 25, he became suddenly seriously ill and was rushed to Mercy hospital where all possible medical aid and skill was given but no avail and so he passed to the beyond before his son of Culbertson and two daughters of Los Angeles could reach him to say the last goodbye.
He leaves to mourn his death his dearly beloved wife, two sons and three daughters - John Eisenach Jr. of Culbertson, Nebraska; Jacob Eisenach of Denver, Colorado; Mrs. Mollie Folton of Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Lydia Simington of Los Angeles, California; and Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy of Denver, Colorado; thirteen grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. John Wagner of Culbertson, Nebraska; two step-sisters, Mrs. H. Brenning of McCook, Nebraska; and Mrs. Katherine Yost of Denver, Colorado; and two step-brothers of McCook, Nebraska besides many friends.
Services were held from the United German M.E. church conducted by the pastor, the Rev. H.F. Ahrens, and the Dist. Supt., the Rev. S. Buechner. Burial in Riverside cemetery.
