Both were imprisoned at Oethenbach where Felix died. Adelheid escaped the prison in 1646. The Strassberger family account says that "-- he was treated with ruthless rigor at Oethenbach, for they gave him nothing to eat for several days, so that even some criminals, who were confined in an adjoining apartment, had compassion on him, and with difficulty conveyed food to him through an opening in the partition. The door keepers observing this, removed Felix to another prison. They at length gave him some food, but his digestive organs had become so impaired by long fasting, that his stomach refused to retain its food, wherefore, he prepared himself for death. In this state of weakness they carried him to a church and threw him under a bench, where he immediately expired, having previously commended his soul to God."

I think I have found the source of much of the confusion surrounding the
identity of his wife. In the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society card file
the original entry was Ann. Someone later typed in Ann Engle. The Barbara
Snavely is a misreading by many researchers. She is the second wife of his
son Johannes. Her birth and death dates are too late for Jacob Landis. The
card is rather poorly prepared. I need to check out this Ann Engle thing, but
I am becoming more convinced that Ira Landis was right with Esther Barr.
