The soul is safe in heaven."

Sister Lehman united with the church at the age of 19, and was married to Bro. Lehman in 1842. Shortly after they moved to Williams Co., and to Indiana in 1853. The deceased was for many years an earnest, devoted sister in the Mennonite Church. She had a great concern for the welfare of the souls of her children, of whom seven out of eight survive her; and earnestly entreated them in her last hours to give themselves to the Savior. Only a few days before her death she sent for one of the ministering brethren that she with the family and a few of the neighbors might hold a christian service together once more, and engage in the observance of the communion and feet-washing. May her faithful example in many good works long live in the memory of her many friends.
