• Notes

  Daniel Lichty, "was born February 10th, 1850. He is married to Rebecca Musselman and resides on his father's farm. To them are born three children". Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ____________________________________ LICHTY - On the 21st of November 1897, in Woolwich Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont., Daniel Lichty, aged 47 years, 9 months and 11 days. His sickness and departure were sad, and his death should be a solemn warning to backsliders and the unconverted. He leaves a bereaved wife, three children and an aged mother. Buried in the Martin graveyard. Funeral services by Abraham Martin from Psa. 39: 4, and by Joseph Gingerich from James 5: 6. Hiram Weber. Herald of Truth, Vol. XXXIV, No. 24, December 15, 1897 - Page 379, 380 __________________________ Daniel Lichty It is our painful duty to chronicle the early demise of one of the most industrious and progressive men in Woolwich Township in the person of Mr. Daniel Lichty. His illness was of short duration lasting about a week. Acute pneumonia combined with sever affliction of the brain was the cause of death on the morning of the 21st inst., at his comfortable home about two miles west of our village. All that medical skill could do was done to alleviate his sufferings by Drs. Arnott, Berlin, and Ullyott, Elmira, who met daily in consultation. Deceased was of a peaceful, retiring disposition, and was much respected by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He leaves behind a sorrowing wife and three children besides a large circle of well-to-do relatives. His remains were followed to the Martin burying ground by a large concourse of sorrowing neighbors. His removal has cast a gloom over the entire community - Conestoga Correspondent Waterloo Chronicle November 25, 1897
