Halteman, -- Henry S., son of the late Israel and Lizzie Halteman was born Sept. 19, 1888, near Spring Mount, Pa.; died suddenly in a tractor accident June 16, 1955 on his farm near Telford, Pa.; aged 66 y. 8 m. 28 d. He suffered a crushed chest when he was pressed against the steering wheel of his tractor by an overhanging tree branch. It is believed that he was killed almost instantly, when evidently the tractor was in reverse instead of forward gear when he started it. He accepted Christ as his Saviour as a young man and united with the Mennonite Church. He was a Sunday-school teacher for many years, teaching up to the last Sunday of his life. He was united in marriage to Lizzie A. Bergey, who survives. To this union were born 5 children, one preceding him in death in infancy. Surviving are 4 children (Mrs. Eva Godshall, Mrs. Earl Shelly, and Ellis Halteman, all of Telford, Pa.; and Mrs. Marvin Ruth, Newville, Pa.), 10 grandchildren, 4 brothers (Elmer, Melvin, and Joseph all of Telford, and Benjamin, Souderton, Pa.), and one sister (Lizzie Halteman, Morwood, Pa.). Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death. He is the third brother to die suddenly through some kind of accident. Funeral services were conducted by Elwood Derstine and Menno Souder, with burial at the Franconia Mennonite Cemetery.
