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.

      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
