GOSPEL HERALD - December 31, 1931 - Vol. XXIV, No. 40 - page 863 Leichty. - Lydia, daughter of Christian and Mary (Wenger) Klopfenstein, was born in Washington Co., Iowa, Nov. 11, 1865.

On Feb. 3, 1910, she was united in marriage with Benjamin Leichty and thus became the foster mother to her husband's five sons. This gave her an opportunity to exercise the true Christian mother's spirit of sacrifice and devotion which seemed to dominate her life. Two of her foster sons preceded her in death..
