She was baptized in her infancy and in due time received a course of instruction in the saving truths of scriptures. On March 25, 1866, she was admitted to communicant membership in the Lutheran church, being confirmed at Eggertsville, Erie county, N Y, by Rev. Adolph Botiger. To this church she remained faithful all her life. She never failed, amid the manifold changes of location, to identify herself with a congregation of her faith. Her mother had died when the deceased was still a very young girl. Her father was then married to Katharine Mangold and shortly after went with his family to Edgerton, O., while Caroline remained in the east with relatives. About 6 years later she also came to Ohio, but returned again to New York for about a year. Then she came to the second time and soon after, on August 12, 1870, was married to John Lumpp. They settled down on a farm east of Edgerton. Their union was blessed with 13 children, 6 of whom preceded the mother in death, the death of these 6 children together with that of her husband forming a good share of the grief she was called upon to bear in life. From Edgerton they removed to the vicinity of Edon, where amid several changes of residence the deceased spent the remainder of her life. On December 5, 1898, her husband died. In 1902 she was married to Christopher Walz, who died about 2 years ago. Since that time she had been living in Edon. For many years the deceased had been afflicted with heart trouble, accompanied by dropsy. About Christmas time of last year the disease took a serious turn. While she suffered intensely and several times was on the verge of death, it seemed only lately that the attack had been overcome. But the improvement was not permanent. On last Monday she once more took holy communion and then without fear awaited death. It came gently on the morning of Thursday, April 8, 1915, at 7 o'clock in the morning, relieving her of all woe. She reached the age of 62 years, 9 months, and 2 days. She is survived by her stepmother, 3 sons and 3 daughters in-law, 4 daughters and 3 sons in-law, 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild, 3 brothers, 5 half brothers and 5 half sisters. Funeral services were held on Saturday, April 10, from the Lutheran church, Rev. A. C. Hueter officiating. Interment in Edon cemetery. Found in the Edon Commercial, Edon, Ohio, Thursday April 15, 1915.

MENEGAY, farmer and stock raiser; P.O., Louisville. Among the early French settlers who braved the perils of an ocean voyage from the Old to the New World, is the family of Menegay, who arrived in this country in 1828. The subject of this sketch was born in Doubs, France, June 19, 1815. He is one of a family born to Joseph and Mary (Poinssot) Menegay, who were induced by their relative, Mr. Frantz, to emigrate with Mr. Menegay's family and his father to the United States. They traveled with wagons eight days, before reaching Havre, where they embarked on a ship for New York, which port they reached after a prosperous voyage of fourty-two days. From there they went to Cleveland via Buffalo, and from there to Akron by canal. On their arrival in Nimishillen Township, Mr. Menegay purchased 320 acres of land, near where Louisville now is, and with the usual energy and vigor of those old, time- honored emigrants, set to work improving their farm. Like the majority of their countrymen, this family were devout members of the Catholic Church, and Mr. Menegay was the most enterprising men to take an active part in the improvement of the churches and schools of this denomination. Mrs. Menegay died in 1850, and Mr. Menegay in 1872. Our subject was reared on the farm with his parents, and before his coming to America, received an excellent education in his native land. In 1840 he married Miss Mary R. Violand, and by her had a family of eight----Mary, Josephine, Joseph S. , Louisa, Catherine, Melinda, Louis, and Louis deceased. The Menegays are noted for their honesty and hard labor. In politics they are Democrats. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V98 Issue #53 ******************************************
