    Notes:

    Bish. Peter Lehman was born on the 16th of July 1829, in Harperich, Canton Grosztennchen, Alsace Lorraine, Europe. On the 15th of February 1852, he emigrated to America and founded a peaceful home here, where he spent the remainder of his days. On the 23d of November 1858, he was united in matrimony with Catharine Lehman (nee Widrich). The union was blessed with ten children, all of whom survive him, together with fifteen grandchildren. One grandchild preceded him 12 years and 4 months ago. He labored faithfully in the ministry of God's word for about twenty-eight years in our Amish congregation in Lewis Co., N. Y., and 8 years and 7 months as bishop. His death was caused by asthma and occurred at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 14th of July 1896. His remains were laid in their last earthly resting place followed by a sorrowing family and congregation, whom he had for many years served as a faithful and loving natural and spiritual father. May God comfort the bereft hearts.
