Lichty. Oliver Lichty was born near Conestoga, Ont., Aug. 30, 1888; died Sept. 17, 1933; aged 45 y. 17 d. At the age of 16 he chose Christ as his personal Savior and united with the Mennonite Church. In March, 1909, he married Luella Eby and to this union was born 1 son. The mother was called home in July, 1911. Nov., 1912, he married Joanna Eby. She with the following children (Cranson, Arthur, Helen, Norma, Bernice, Glennis, and Mervin) feel deeply the loss of the one who has left them so suddenly. Besides these his parents, 7 sisters and 2 brothers remain. Two sisters already preceded him. The news of the sudden passing of Bro. Lichty was a great shock to this community, as he was known by all to be in perfect health. His death was occasioned by a fall from a silo. As he was alone at the time the detailed facts are not known, but it is believed that death was almost instantaneous. The early years of his married life were lived near Floradale, Ont. About fifteen years ago they moved to Mannheim, Ont., and several years later to Nine Pines, where he met his sad death. Ever since moving to this community he has been a member of the Latschar Mennonite Church, where all his family, who are of accountable age, are also members. He always took an active part in the work of the Church when called upon. He will be missed by all who knew him, but especially by the family and his beloved wife who looked to him as the mainstay of the home. Funeral service at the home was private, conducted by Bro. J. W. Witmer. A service was also held at First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, with Brethren Oliver D. Snider and M. S. Hallman in charge. Texts, Rev. 21: 4; Amos 3: 6. Interment was made in the Waterloo Mennonite Cemetery. The family express their resigned attitude and love in the verse:
"Had He asked us, well He'd know,
We would say, Oh! Spare the blow.
Yes with streaming tears we'd say,
Lord we loved him, let him stay."
