BARBARA OTTO LIVENGOOD

  Barbara Otto Livengood, born May 8, 1864, died September 8, 1932, aged 68 
years and 4 months.
  She was married to Wilbert E. Livengood in 1892.  To this union were born four 
children, Harry and Myron of Pinto, Maryland, Orville of Wyoming, Pa., and 
Beulah, who died when a young child.
  She united with the Mennonite Church in her youth, and remained a faithful 
member until death.
  Mrs. Livengood attended the Otto family reunion on the old homestead near 
Grantsville, Maryland, on August 20, and at that time complained of not feeling 
well.  The following Sunday night she became quite ill and the doctor pronounced 
it intestinal flu. Other complications set in which caused her considerable 
suffering.
  Five years ago Mrs. Livengood was seriously ill and the doctors at that time 
had given up hope for her recovery.  Her life was spared, however, but since 
that time she was not well.
  Mrs. Livengood was a quiet, unassuming person, and lived practically her 
entire lifetime since her marriage in Springs, Pa.
  She is survived by her husband, Wilbert E. Livengood, and three sons, Harry, 
Orville and Myron, and five sisters, Mrs. G. D. Miller and Mrs. H. M. Gelnett, 
of Springs; Mrs. W. J. Livengood and Mrs. Wilson Folk, of Grantsville, Md., and 
Mrs. Daniel Zeigler of Somerset; also one brother, J. J. Otto, of Springs.
  The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. S. G. Shetler of Johnstown, assisted 
by Rev. Roy Otto of Springs.  Wm. Winterberg of Grantsville had charge of the 
burial arrangements and interment was made in the Springs cemetery.  Her 
pallbearers were six nephews - Dwight and Myron Miller, Ed Kolb, Homer 
Livengood, Cloyd Otto and Bruce Folk.  Her funeral was very largely attended.
