GOSPEL HERALD - Vol. XIX, No. 30 - October 21, 1926 - pp 638, 639

Wenger.-Levi Wenger was born near Intercourse, Pa., Sept. 11, 1861; died at the same place Sept. 13, 1926; aged 65y. 2d. On Sept. 9, paralysis laid hold on his body and apparently he realized his condition because he asked the family to gather in the old homestead and at midnight an impressive prayer meeting was held, after which he admonished the family to put their trust in God, as there is none other to look to for help. All the children were at his bedside and while his desire was to stay with the family, he said he was willing and ready to go. He lingered until the following Monday when he said, "The time will not be long," and at 11:45 P. M. he fell asleep in Jesus, without a struggle. He was a lifelong member of the Hershey Mennonite Church and a faithful Sunday school worker. A large class of adults will miss their teacher, who while with them often studied until the midnight hour that he might bring something worthwhile to his class. Members of this class served as pall bearers. Our brother was a friend of friendless and needy children, and at various times sheltered those who were in need. Mother, children, and grandchildren will miss him, but if they are faithful to Him who has called father hence, they soon shall meet where parting is unknown. Those left to mourn their loss are; his bosom companion, Oliver H., Margaret L., (wife of Willis Kreider), Amos C., Catherine M., (wife of Benj. Kreider), Christian L., Mary E., (Wife of Irwin Groff), and Sarah E.

Funeral services were conducted at the house on Sept. 16, by Bro. John B. Senger and at the Hershey Mennonite Church by Bishop C. M. Brackbill. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.¹ Levi Wenger Find-a-Grave.com ID # 120186428 + family links.

And we take the last farewell

When we see thy vacant chair,
When we look around to see thee
Naught but sorrow see we there.

We'll not murmur though we miss thee,
Rest thee now from all thy care;
Soon we hope with wings celestial
To be borne thy joys to share.
