  • Notes 
    • Steiner. Sarah Jane Lichty Steiner, daughter of Brother and Sister Benjamin Lichty, of Waterloo Co., Ont., was born July 3, 1870; died May 19, 1932; aged 61 y. 10 m. 16d. She was married to J. P. Steiner on May 16, 1898. Soon after their marriage she was converted and became a member of the Mennonite Church at St. James, Ont. In the spring of 1905 she moved with her husband to the present homestead near Drake, Sask. Soon after the Sharon Mennonite Church was organized she became a member and lived a consistent Christian life until death, which was caused by a weak heart and dropsy. She was a kind, loving, generous, and sympathetic wife and mother. She leaves to mourn her loss a sorrowing husband and 1 son, the only child. Funeral services were held May 22 at the home by Edwin Bartel, and at the Sharon Mennonite Church, by J. Lehman and M. H. Schmitt. Text, Rev. 14: 13. She was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.
