Prominent Citizen Dies after Long Illness
Elmer E. Rinehart, 82, died Wednesday morning, April 24, at his home on Randolph Street, in Angola, after a long illness. Mr. and Mrs. Rinehart had made their home in Angola since retiring from active farming, and he was widely known throughout the community. Mr. Rinehart was one of a few surviving members of the Ivory Club, a social organization of prominent men in the city whose ranks are rapidly dwindling.
The survivors include the wife, Luella, a son, Earl of Angola; a daughter, Mrs. Lewis Taylor, of Flint, Michigan, three grandchildren and two step-granddaughters.
Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon at the Klink Funeral Home with the Rev. Lee Carter Maynard officiating and burial was in the South Scott cemetery.
Elmer E. Rinehart, the youngest son of Christopher and Lucy (Winchell) Rinehart, was born March 5, 1864, in York township, Steuben county, Ind., and passed from this life on April 24, 1946, at his home on Randolph Street, Angola, Ind., at the age of 82 years one month and 19 days.
When a babe of seven weeks his mother died and he was taken to the home of his Grandfather Rinehart in Otsego township, where he was cared for by two aunts who were still in the home, and where he grew to manhood, attending the district school, and later the academy school at Angola. He often spoke of three of his teachers, Prof. Carlin, Prof. Long and Mrs. Best.
Farming was his chosen profession.
On December 24, 1891 he was united in marriage with Luella Lininger, also of Otsego township, and began their married life on the farm of his father, and remained there until March, 1900, when they moved to a farm he had purchased in Scott township, residing there until September, 1913, when they came to Angola, which place has since been his home. Two children have blessed this happy home, Earl and Wilma.
In 1909, under the ministry of the Rev. Charles Reign Scovill, he made the good confession and became a member of the Christian church at South Scott which place his membership still remains.
On Christmas Day, 1941, he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
At his passing he leaves his wife, Luella, two children, Earl of Angola and Wilma, now Mrs. Lewis Taylor, of Flint, Mich., a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law; three grandchildren, Carlton Rinehart, of Angola; Bethany Taylor of Flint, Mich.; and Willis Taylor who is in service at Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina; two step-granddaughters, Mrs. Evelyn Hardy, of Orange, Tex., and Mrs. Doris Needleman, of New York, all of whom were very near and dear to him and all will miss his kindly greeting and good advice.
Life is so wonderful, life such as thine
Death cannot end it, father of mine,
Morning will come again gilding the trees,
Spring notes will sound again, sweet on the breeze…
This is not dying, my brave father dear,
Thou art but climbing up out of here,
Out of the struggles and out of the pain,
Out where with Christ, life will flower again,
So, then, good night, father only good night;
Turn thy dear face to the mansions of light.
Life is so wonderful, life such as thine
Death cannot end it, good night father mine.
Funeral services were held at the Klink Funeral Home Saturday, April 27, at 2 p.m., with Rev. Lee Carter Maynard officiating.
Burial was in South Scott cemetery.
