Lyons Herald, 17 Oct 1907

Peter Dommy was born July 23, 1816, near Manlin, Lancaster county, 
Pennsylvania, and moved to Ohio 1861 and thence to Michigan in 1868.  He was 
married to Emelia Luts in 1835; to them were born 10 children, three of whom 
are living, Mrs. Vance, Mrs. Ernst and John L. Dommy.

Mr. Dommy lived in Michigan at the foot of Maple Hill for several years, also 
at Hubbardston and carried on the business of manufacturing lumber.  In early 
life he carried on the business of a carpenter and builder, was an employer of 
labor on a large scale in his lumber and building enterprises and was a 
straight forward honest business man.

He was converted in 1865 and united with the United Brethren Church in Ohio and 
on moving to Hubbardston he united with the M.E. Church, in which faith he 
continued to the end.

He was a liberal supporter of the cause of Christ as long as he was able to do 
so.  During the last two years he has not been able to attend church service 
very often on account of his failed eye-sight, which occurred nine years ago.  
He could find his way around Hubbardston fairly well as he was well acquainted 
with the town; also could up to the last two years find his way around Pewamo 
fairly well, since which time he could not go from home with safety alone, 
being almost blind.

On September 26 he accidentally entered the wrong door in the room which led to 
the cellar and fell sustaining a bad fracture of his right arm, with other 
serious injuries, which resulted in death on October 10, aged 91 years, 2 
months, 17 days.

Mr. Dommy was a sincere Christian, a loyal follower of his Lord, a good loving 
father, who will be missed very much in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vance, 
where he has made his home for several years.  The brother and sisters have 
been equally blessed by the long life of the father.  They mourn his departure 
but not as those who have no hope.  His end was peace.
