*** his father ...
Sunthimer - Adam Sunthimer was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, Feb 23, 1847; died at his home in Middlebury, Ind, March 24, 1923, at the age of 76 y, 29 d.
On March 1, 1869, he was united in marriage to Susanna Shrock, who preceded him to a better world, Feb. 8, 1891; age 40 y, 6 m, 18 d.
To this union were born ten children: Mrs Amos Nusbaum of Middlebury; William and Albert, of California; Mrs Silas Yoder and Mrs Alonza Kauffman, of Goshen; Oliver, of Philadelphia; Mrs Gilbert Miller, of Berlin, Ohio; Charles, of Bristol, and Libbie and Ida May, now deceased.
Thirty grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren also survive. He also leaves one sister, Mrs Barbara Hostettler of Emma, Ind., and two half sisters, Mrs. E M Berkey of Wooster, Ohio and Mrs Samuel Bram of Goshen.
In October, 1893, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Smucker who survives him.
In 1869 he united with the Mennonite Church to which he has remained faithful until the time of death. Shortly before he died he expressed himself as being ready to go which is a source of great comfort to his bereaved wife, sons, daughters, relatives and friends. His wise counsel, kindly help, noble Christian life, regular presence in church and Sunday school will be greatly missed by those who knew him and with whom he came in contact.
"Dearest father thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
The funeral services were held at the Middlebury Mennonite Church Mar 27, conducted by D D Miller and S S Yoder. The remains were laid to rest in the Pashan Cemetery.
