Parents:
Samuel Lichty (1811 - 1891)
Margaret Wagner Lichty (1814 - 1904)

Mrs. Margaret Wagner Lichty was born in Baden, Germany, Jan. 12th, 1814, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Tummond, Aug 12th, 1904, being 90 years and seven months old.

She was reared in a christian home and confirmed in the German Reformed Church at the age of 14 years.

She came to America when a young woman and lived in Trastburg, Maryland, a number of years. She was married to Samuel Lichty, of Pennsylvania, in 1841. To them were born seven children, six daughters and one son, six of whom are still living, the youngest, Katie, having died a little more than two years ago. Mr. Lichty died thirteen years ago.

The family moved to Kirksville in 1869, where their home has since been.

Mrs. Lichty was a most excellent christian woman, loving her Bible, her church and her Savior. So long as strength permitted she was a regular attendant on the services of God's house, which were a great comfort to her. She was always pleased to have her pastor call and read and pray with her. Her death was tranquil and and [sic] without pain. She was spared the lingering sickness with which some suffer.

The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. W.C. Templeton, Sabbath morning at nine o'clock. The text was one she herself had chosen years before--Rev. 7:14. The body was tenderly laid to rest in Forest Park cemetery to await the morning of the resurrection.

The surviving relatives have the sympathy of many friends in Kirksville and elsewhere.

DIED.

LICHTY—In this city Thursday, of dropsy, Samuel Lichty. Funeral from the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock Friday morning.

OBITUARY

Samuel Lichty was born in Fayette county, Pa., Jan 1, 1811. He removed to Maryland in early life where he was married in October 1841. After a residence in that state of 20 years, he returned to Pennsylvania, where he remained only two years, when he removed to Illinois. He was a resident of that state not more than 2 years. He with his family came to Missouri in October 1869. Thus it appears that he was a citizen of Kirksville for nearly 22 years. Mr. Lichty was a hard worker, a man of wonderful endurance and remarkable health. During all his long life he never had a serious illness until his last sickness which confined him to the house for nearly a year, and to his bed for four months. He became a member of the Lutheran church about 30 years ago, and transferred his membership to the Presbyterian church of Kirksville about 13 years ago, of which church he remained a consistent and faithful member until the close of his life. Though quite deaf, so that he could hear very little of the services of the church, yet he was regular in his attendance upon the church worship. He very much enjoyed church music and the reading of his Bible in his home. He was a good husband, a kind father, a quiet and peacable citizen. He died on the morning of July 9, 1892, aged 80 years, 6 months and 8 days. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at 10 a.m., July 10.
