OBITUARY

Samuel Lichty was born in Fayette county, Pa., Jan 1, 1811. He removed to Maryland in early life where he was married in October 1841. After a residence in that state of 20 years, he returned to Pennsylvania, where he remained only two years, when he removed to Illinois. He was a resident of that state not more than 2 years. He with his family came to Missouri in October 1869. Thus it appears that he was a citizen of Kirksville for nearly 22 years. Mr. Lichty was a hard worker, a man of wonderful endurance and remarkable health. During all his long life he never had a serious illness until his last sickness which confined him to the house for nearly a year, and to his bed for four months. He became a member of the Lutheran church about 30 years ago, and transferred his membership to the Presbyterian church of Kirksville about 13 years ago, of which church he remained a consistent and faithful member until the close of his life. Though quite deaf, so that he could hear very little of the services of the church, yet he was regular in his attendance upon the church worship. He very much enjoyed church music and the reading of his Bible in his home. He was a good husband, a kind father, a quiet and peacable citizen. He died on the morning of July 9, 1892, aged 80 years, 6 months and 8 days. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at 10 a.m., July 10.
