Lehman.-After a week's illness with uremic poisoning Susan (Rohrer) Lehman (aged 91 y. 6 m. 7 d.) died Sunday morning in the home of her son, Henry Lehman, near Washingtonville, Ohio, where she had lived for 60 years. She was the youngest and last one of a family of eleven children whose ages average 86 y. 1 m. 17 d. The father of this family was Abraham Rohrer, for many years a bishop, having oversight of Ohio and Indiana Mennonite Churches. The combined age of the parents and their children is 1,131 years 8 mos. and 3 days, remarkable for its individual case of longevity. She was born in Rockingham County, Md., and at the age of one year she moved with her parents to Wadsworth, Ohio, where she lived for 30 years. On Feb. 27, 1862, she was united in marriage to Abraham Lehman who preceded her in death 40 years ago. To this union were born D. R. and Henry Lehman who with four grandchildren are left to mourn her departure. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church for many years, a good and kind Christian mother who knew no enemies and her whole life was one well worthy of emulation. Funeral services Tuesday afternoon at the Midway Mennonite Church, conducted by her Pastors Harvey Horst and D. C. Witmer, and by E. M. Detweiler of the Midway congregation. Text, II Tim. 4:6-8.
