She was well known for her faith, as a member of various churches including Trinity Lutheran Church in Shantz Station (now closed), Hope Lutheran in Kitchener and her 'cottage church' Geneva Presbyterian in Chesley. Her unfailing dedication to charitable causes such as Lampwick missions will live on in the many quilts that she was so generously a part of, and in the Hope Church "Mitten Tree". Elvera enjoyed many years at "The Cottage" near Chesley, where she would spend countless hours with her flower gardens, her birds, her family and cutting and sewing her quilting patches. She had a love of music and singing, having played the organ for most of her lifetime, including playing for services at various churches over the years. She will be missed by her cat "Salem", whom she rescued as a kitten from the road at the cottage.

    Daniel Lichty

    It is our painful duty to chronicle the early demise of one of the most industrious and progressive men in Woolwich Township in the person of Mr. Daniel Lichty. His illness was of short duration lasting about a week. Acute pneumonia combined with sever affliction of the brain was the cause of death on the morning of the 21st inst., at his comfortable home about two miles west of our village. All that medical skill could do was done to alleviate his sufferings by Drs. Arnott, Berlin, and Ullyott, Elmira, who met daily in consultation. Deceased was of a peaceful, retiring disposition, and was much respected by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He leaves behind a sorrowing wife and three children besides a large circle of well-to-do relatives. His remains were followed to the Martin burying ground by a large concourse of sorrowing neighbors. His removal has cast a gloom over the entire community - Conestoga Correspondent
