Lancaster daily intelligencer. (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928: July 26, 1880
Christian Mellinger, a venerable patriarch of Mountville, West Hempfield township,
died last evening between 10 and 11 o'clock, in the 92d year of his age, of dropsy,
with which he had been but a short time affected. Mr. Mellinger was a native of this
county, a farmer by profession, and led a quiet and homely life, and yet by his
frugality, industry and skill in farming acquired a very considerable fortune,
estimated at from $80,000 to $100,000. He was an upright, honorable man, highly
esteemed by all who knew him. He was a widower, and for some years past has lived
with one of his sons. He was a member, we believe, of the Old Mennonite church. His
surviving family consists of four sons and six daughters, all of whom are married.
His funeral will take place on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
