ROSS FORD LENHART

  Ross Ford Lenhart, born April 13, 1870, departed this life May 23, 1940 at the 
age of 70 years, one month and ten days.  He was the oldest son of John and 
Lydia (Durst) Lenhart.  He lived almost his entire life within a mile of his 
parental home.  He was a man of sterling character and was a loving and much 
loved husband and father.  Surviving to mourn his loss are his wife and these 
children: Arthur, Ohiopyle; Beatrice Shaffer, Rice's Landing, and Jonas, 
Listonburg; also two sisters, Mrs. Florence Wilhelm and Mrs. Mary Rodehaver; and 
four brothers, Jesse, George and Edward of Listonburg, and Newton of Youngstown, 
Ohio.  A brother, Samuel, and a sister, Mrs. Laura Lichty, preceded him in death 
a few years ago.
  Mr. Lenhart was a member of the Masonic order at Addison, and a member of the 
Methodist Church, Listonburg.  Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, 
Rev. Frederick Crowe, at the church.  H. B. Rishebarger had charge of the 
arrangements and interment in the Addison Cemetery.  Death came to him as a 
blessing after a long period of suffering.
