Paternal g/son of John Shelly Lehman & his wife Gertrude Huber Lehman
Married Lydia Ann Good Lehman, daughter of Benaville Good & his wife
***********
Lehman - Peter Y Lehman was born in Mahoning Co, Ohio, Oct 2, 1836; died March 31, 1925; aged 88 y, 5 m, 29 d.
He came to Elkhart Co., Ind. At the age of twenty-one years.
He was united in marriage with Lydia Ann Good on Nov 23, 1863. She preceded him in death five years ago. This union was blessed with seventeen children, of whom thirteen are still living, twelve of whom were present at the funeral.
He leaves also fifty-eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Brother and Sister Lehman both united with the Mennonite Church in 1863. Brother Lehman was ordained to the ministry many years ago, and later also to the bishop's office, and rendered good service. But his work was beset with many trials and difficulties, and now that he has gone to his reward, we trust he has found and obtained the reward of the righteous in those heavenly mansions which Jesus has prepared for all His true followers, where there is joy and fullness of joy for everymore.
Peace to his ashes.
He was buried at the Yellow Creek Mennonite Cemetery on April 4, 1925. Funeral services were conducted by J S Hartzler and John F Funk. His funeral was largely attended.
