Gehman was ordained to the ministry which position he faithfully filled till Nov. 19, 1912, when he was called to his reward. He was a powerful speaker, and in most of his sermons, laid special emphasis on repentance and getting right with God, being instrumental in a great revival that took place in Waterloo Co., in 1885. This union was blessed with 6 children of whom one son (John) preceded them. Sister Gehman died at the home of her daughter in Waterloo, aged 81 y. 8 m. 23 d., leaving 2 daughters and 3 sons (Susanna - Mrs. John Wismer, Samuel, Esther - Mrs. Norman Gingerich, Willie, and Solomon).The funeral was held at the Waterloo Mennonite Church on Jan. 6, conducted by Jonas Snider and Noah Hunsberger.
