They were then led to the place of execution,
called the Schweinacker, near the Schafhuetten.
There Eustace, who was feeble and sick according
to the flesh, was beheaded first. After him brother
George Raeck cheerfully stepped forward to the
executioner, and exclaimed with a joyful heart:
“Here I forsake wife and children, house and home,
body and life, for the faith and the divine truth. He
then knelt down, and the executioner beheaded him
also.

John Korbmacher was reserved for the last, who,
when he beheld the other two lying there beheaded,
said: “My brethren, you who have overcome shall
inherit all things.” The executioner then took him,
tied him to a ladder, kindled the fire, and threw him
alive into the same. He also laid the two beheaded
bodies upon a pile of wood, and burnt them to
ashes.

Thus did they testify their faith in Christ with
their word, life and death, yea, voluntarily and
patiently, with their body and blood, confessing
that God gave them such strength as a blessing;
and thus they with firm confidence departed from
this world to go to the eternal fatherland.
