AUSTIN LICHTY

  Austin Lichty, born and reared in Elk Lick Township, died at the home of his 
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Yommer, in Garrett County, 
Maryland, Oct. 8, 1942, of a cerebral hemorrage, at the age of 76 years, 5 
months and 20 days.  He had his home with Mr. and Mrs. Yommer since the death of 
his wife in 1939.  His wife was a daughter of John and Catharine Folk Livengood, 
and he was a son of Jonathan and Harriet Smith Lichty.
  Mr. Lichty is survived by one daughter and four sons, namely: Mary, wife of 
Harrison Yommer; John of Elk Lick Township; Henry, Ashland, Ohio; Leonard, 
Chagrin Falls, Ohio; and Arthur of Elyria, Ohio.
  The funeral services were held last Sunday in the St. Paul Evangelical and 
Reformed Church, in the village of St. Paul, Elk Lick Township, near which 
village most of his life was spent.  The services were conducted by Rev. S. D. 
Sigler, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church, Salisbury, of which denomination 
Mr. Lichty was a faithful member. In order that all who attended the funeral 
could be comfortably seated, mortician Stanley M. Thomas of Salisbury, who had 
charge of the burial arrangement, provided chairs which were placed in the 
aisles.  Interment was in the St. Paul Cemetery.
