Lehman - Daniel A, son of Benjamin and Uphema Lehman, was born in Williams Co, Ohio, June 4, 1843; died at his home in Nappanee, Ind, June 18, 1932; aged 89 y, 14 d.
When but a boy he came with his parents from Ohio and settled in Olive Twp, near Wakarusa. He was united in marriage to Nancy Culp, Dec 18, 1866, and for 63 years they traveled together through life until the death of Sister Lehman in 1929. To this union were born 8 children, 7 surviving, namely, H B Lehman, Susan Hamsher, Saloma Heestand, D F Lehman, Joe M Lehman, Lydia Wiker, and Martha Herr. One son Albert preceded him in death.
There are also 31 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, and 1 brother (Geo Lehman) who survive.
About 53 years ago he moved to Nappanee where he established his medical business, which he conducted for a number of years, and by the products he made many have learned to know and remember him. He loved to help others, showing a kind and hospitable spirit. The doors of his home were ever open to strangers. He was always active and engaged in some work which seemed to contribute largely to his good health and vigor despite his advanced age.
Bro Lehman accepted Christ as his Savior in young manhood and united with the Mennonite Church in which faith he lived and died. He was one of the early members of the North Main St Congregation, when services were still held in the little old frame school building, serving as superintendent of the Sunday school for a number of terms, being a member of the Building Committee when the present brick building was built in 1893. He was a staunch defender of the faith, ever desirous that the Church might be kept pure and free from the sinful things of the world.
His last desires were that he might do all that he could for his Lord until He would call him home. In his leaving us, the family misses a loving father, the community a respected neighbor, and the Church a faithful and obedient member, but our loss is his gain. Funeral services were held at the North Main St Church, Nappanee, June 20, by D A Yoder and H F North. Burial in Union Center Cemetery.
