John Kilmer Lehman was born near Wakarusa, Ind., July 23, 1874; died of heart disease near Tofield, Alta., Nov. 5, 1933; aged 59 y. 3 m. 13 d. While still a small boy his mother died, so he was taken to St. Jacobs, Ont., and adopted by Joseph S. Martin in June, 1880. There he grew to manhood and was baptized and united with the Mennonite Church in July, 1894. In 1897 he went to Iowa, where he met and shortly after married Susanna Wideman. To this union were born five sons (Joseph, Alvin, Oliver, David, and Melvin John) and three daughters (Irene-Mrs. Ezra Stauffer, Chrstena,--who died in infancy, and Mary-Mrs. Roy Roth). All live near Tofield, Alta. A little over a year ago his wife passed to her reward, also from heart disease. In 1901, Bro. Lehman with his family moved to Mayton, Alta. They were among the pioneers in that district. On Oct. 21, 1906, he was ordained by lot a minister of the Mennonite Church at Mayton, Alta., by Bishops Israel Shantz and Norman B. Stauffer. This office he filled faithfully throughout his life in the different congregations in which he resided. In the spring of 1915, he with his family moved to Hubbard, Oreg., but returned to Mayton in the fall of 1917. The following spring they came to Tofield, where he made his home until he died. This spring, because of failing health, he moved to his daughter, Mary. The latter part of June he became seriously ill and then moved to his other daughter, Irene, where he made his home until God called him to his heavenly home. Bro. Lehman suffered much misfortune throughout his life, but through it all he showed commendable patience, his chief desire being to follow his Savior to the best of his ability. He was a devout Christian, especially so in his devotional life. The Lord, through His infinite wisdom allowed severe trials to be placed upon him during his serious illness, but His grace always proved sufficient. During the last two weeks Bro. Lehman suffered extreme pain up till the very last. He leaves to mourn his departure, besides the children already mentioned, six grandchildren, one granddaughter having preceded him; two brothers (Peter K. and Jacob), two sisters (Katie-Mrs. John Brubaker and Lizzie, both of Michigan); also a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services at the home were conducted by Br. N. E. Roth and at the church by Bros. N. E. Roth and Milo Stutzman. Text "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Interment in the Salem Cemetery. "The room is quiet, all is still, The place is vacant, 'til God's will; So long you waited for your rest, Our blessed Lord knows what is best."
