  • Notes 
    • Lichti. --- Christian S., son of Christian and Nancy (Schlegel) Lichti, was born July 26, 1874 at St. Agatha, Ont.; died at the General Hospital, Geneva, Neb., Sept. 19, 1940, where he spent the last 23 days of his life; aged 66 y. 1 m. 24 d. In his youth he united with the Mennonite Church and remained faithful to the end. On Jan. 1, 1903, he was united in marriage to Celesta E. Kaufman at Milford, Neb. Together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for over 37 years, of which 26 years were spent in the community of Milford. To this union were born 5 daughters. He leaves his loving companion (who patiently cared for him during the last eight months of his life, during which time he was bedfast due to heart complications which he bore very patiently), also 5 daughters (Neoda, wife of Ed. Kennel of Milford; Grace, wife of Albert Schiffler, New Meadows, Ida.; Lydia, wife of Wes Schiffler, Filer, Ida.; Delta, wife of Glen Klopfenstein; and Delsie, both of Archbold, Ohio). Ten grandchildren also survive. All were present at the funeral except 1 son-in-law and 2 granddaughters. His father-in-law (J. J. Kaufman of Filer, Ida.) was present at the funeral. He also leaves 2 brothers and 2 sisters (Nick, Dan, and Lena of Milford; Anna of Wayland, Ia.), and a large host of relatives and friends. His parents, 1 brother, and 4 sisters preceded him in death. Funeral services in charge of Warren Eicher. Text, Rev. 14: 13.

      "Peacefully sleeping, resting at last,
      The world's weary troubles and trials are past;
      In silence he suffered, in patience he bore,
      Till God called him home, to suffer no more."
