While at the dinner table Friday, Lafayette FENSTERMAKER, 63, a well known farmer living northeast of Rochester, suffered a stroke of paralysis which caused his death 12 hours later. Mr. Fenstermaker had been in the best of health and spent the morning shucking corn. After the attack, which was his second in 15 years, he was able to recognize members of the family for several hours and then gradually sank to death.
Mr. Fenstermaker was born in Hancock Co., Ohio, Dec 27, 1852, and came here when about seven years old with his parents, George and Eliza FENSTERMAKER, who are both dead. Thirty-eight years ago, Mr. Fenstermaker went back to Ohio where he married Miss Etta BRICKMAN, returning to Fulton county to settle on a farm east of Rochester. They were the parents of five children, four of whom are living: Mrs. Viola FUNK of near Rochester, Mrs. Mada BOWMAN who lives northeast of Rochester, W. L. FENSTERMAKER of Kokomo and Roy FENSTERMAKER, who lives at home. He leaves one brother, Allen FENSTERMAKER of Hammond, Ind. The wife is living.
During his residence here, Mr. Fenstermaker was closely identified with the Pleasant Valley church serving a number of years as trustee and for the last 12 years as janitor. Funeral, Monday afternoon at two o'clock at the Pleasant Valley church. Burial at the Odd Fellows cemetery in Rochester.
