• Notes

  Imprisoned at Othenbach, he was not given anything to eat for many days, so that even some criminals that were confined near him in another place, took pity on him and managed to get some food to him...But when the doorkeeper perceived this, he was put into another prison. Finally, however, they gave him some food: but he was so impaired in his body that he could not bear food any more. Yet in his greatest distress he was carried to church, during the sermon, where he, O dreadful inhumanity! was thrown under a bench; but he soon after gave up the ghost, which he had commended into the hands of God. His wife Adelheid Egli, who was also imprisoned in Othenbach, was kept there almost four years...she afterwards, with a good conscience, escaped from her bonds. But in the meantime the authorities had broken up their family, put out the children among strangers, and then sold house and furniture. Felix was an Anabaptist minister at Horgenberg, Switzerland. Felix had been married 3 times, first to Margareth Streler, then to Magdalene Hess, then to Adelheid Egli. It is assumed that his first 2 wives predeceased him.
