OBITUARY

LEWIS BAUMGARDNER
1860-1935

Baumgardner.-Lewis Baumgardner was born March 16, 1860; died Dec. 9, 1935; aged 75 y. 8 m. 23 d. He is survived by his wife (Mary Baumgardner), a daughter (Laura), and a granddaughter (Mary Orcina). His son (Oliver) died five years ago. He is also survived by 3 sisters (Mrs. Amanda Perkins, Mrs. B. E. Noon, and Lizzie Baumgardner) and a brother (Henry Baumgardner). Two brothers (Cyrus and George) preceded him to the grave. He united with the Mennonite Church at Pleasant Grove Church near Salix, Pa., about ten years ago and since that time has been a faithful and active laborer. As superintendent of the Sunday school and church worker he was always interested in the welfare of the Church, seemingly feeling the burden of the Lord's work in a definite way. His going marks a large vacancy in the small congregation where he has been laboring. His illness of the past year culminated in serious complications in the past few weeks, and as death became apparent he was completely resigned, expressing confidence that whatever the Lord would do would be right. Funeral services were held at the home by Sanford G. Shetler and L. A. Blough, and at the Weaver Church by Sanford G. Shetler, A. J. Metzler, and L. A. Blough. Text, Rom. 14 :8.
