  • Notes 
    • Lichti-Samuel S., son of the late David and Barbara (Schultz) Lichti, was born near Wellesley, Ont., May 13, 1895; died April 1, 1937; aged 41 y. 10 m. 18 d. He lived all his life on the farm where he was born. At the age of 16 he accepted Christ as his personal Savior and united with the Amish Mennonite Church, remaining faithful until death. He was afflicted with a rheumatic heart, his end coming suddenly while sitting in a chair. His father also passed away very unexpectedly last November. On Jan. 17, 1923, he was united in holy matrimony with Sister Lucinda Jantzi of Twining, Mich. To this union were born 5 children, 2 having preceded him in infancy. Surviving are his aged mother, his sorrowing companion, 1 son (Orval), 2 daughters (Elsie and Esther), 2 sisters (Mrs. Mahlon Schultz and Mrs. Irvin Zehr, both of Milverton, Ont.). Funeral services were held April 4 at Maple View Church, in charge of Peter Nafziger, Daniel Lebold and Moses 0. Jantzi. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

      "No one heard the footsteps
      Of the angel drawing near,
      Who took from earth to heaven
      The one we loved so dear."
