Mendheim passed quietly away at his home one mile south of Dothan on last Tuesday morning. We do not know his exact age, but he was one of the oldest citizens of this country, and almost every body knew him. He was for a long time a successful Dentist at Abbeville. A few years ago when his manhood had withered away, he moved to the "piney woods" and settled on a little farm near here before Dothan was known. He has for the past few years been an object of pity, and to see him staggering about the streets, jerking with old age, and drawn over, would attract the sympathy and draw tears from anyone. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church and loved his God. He was known by hundreds of people all over this country who will remember how he looked in his declining years. He has been known as "old Doctor Mendheim" for the last 25 years or longer. Such was his title before the writer outgrew the swaddling clothes of an infant. But, alas! 'tis done! And Dr. Mendheim is no more-no more on earth. May he rest with Jesus, and never know sorrow again, are the wishes that a thousand souls will join the Siftings in making today. He died poor in worldly goods, but the true riches are yet to come, and the day of his life has just begun to dawn, for "to live in Christ, and die, is gain". - Wire-Grass Siftings (Dothan, Alabama Weekly Newspaper) Thursday, January 22, 1891 File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/henry/obits/m/mendheim778gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
