  Ralph Ellsworth Kuhn, age 95, died Monday, June 2, 2008, in the Lebanon Valley

  Brethren Home in 1990. His wife of 63 years, Frances P. (Good) Kuhn, preceded 
  him in death on March 25, 2005. He was born on August 8, 1912, in Waynesboro to 
  Albert C. and Sarah Copenhaver Kuhn. During his working years, he was employed

  the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation. He moved to the Hershey area to 
  fulfill the position of county supervisor for the Dauphin and Perry counties, 
  where he later became district administrator, and finally supervisor for the 
  state of Pennsylvania, until his retirement in December 1973. He and his wife,

  Brethren, where he served as a deacon for 43 years, a Sunday school teacher for 
  25 years, one of the building fund treasurers, church clerk, as well as a
