• Notes

  Lichti. - Samuel S. Lichti, son of the late Christian E. and Nancy Lichti, was born near Wayland, Iowa, Jan. 15, 1879; died at his home near Shickley, Nebr., Feb. 5, 1923; aged 44 y. 21 d. Death was caused by diabetes, of which he was a sufferer for 15 months, but bore it very patiently. He was united in marriage July 3, 1903, with Katie A. Rediger. This union was blessed with 1 son and 3 daughters. His companion died March 5, 1911, and he was remarried Mar. 30, 1915, to Leah B. Schrock. This union was blessed with 3 sons and 1 daughter. He leaves to mourn his departure his companion, 4 sons, 4 daughters, 3 brothers, 4 sisters and many other relatives and friends. He united with the A. M. Church in his youth and was a faithful member until Jesus called him to his reward. In the home as a Christian father he was not so much concerned about himself as about the welfare of his children. We have the consolation that the Lord doeth all things well, and that our loss is his gain. God alone knows why He has removed him, even tho it is hard for us to understand. Services were conducted at the house by Bro. Joseph Rediger reading Psa. 90. Bro. William Eicher opened the services at the church by reading II Cor. 5. Funeral sermon preached by Bro. L. O. Schegel. Text, Heb. 4: 9, 11. Services at the grave by Bro. William Eicher. "Father's chair is vacant; And his voice is stilled; But his place o,er yonder, Now, we hope, is filled."
