REBECCA (OHL) LECHLEIDNER, 20 Feb 1827 - 19 Jul 1901

   Rebeckah Ohl was born Feb. 20, 1827, in Schuylkill county, 
Pennsylvania and died July 19, 1901, at the home of her son George, 
in Richland township, Steuben County, Indiana, aged 74 years, 4 
months and 29 days.
   She united with the Reformed church in 1843, and was a faithful 
member until death.  In 1849, she was united in marriage with David 
Lechleidner, and to this union were born ten children, 4 sons and 6 
daughters, four of them having preceded her to the other shore, 
leaving two sons and four daughters, thirty grandchildren and seven 
great grandchildren.  In 1851, she with her husband emigrated to 
Lodi, Medina county, Ohio, and lived there until 1864, then moved to 
Richland township, Steuben county, Indiana.  She was a good mother 
and neighbor and she endeared herself to her family and friends.  A 
large congregation assembled to help lay her away.  Many were the 
tears, as friends and neighbors took the last look at her face.  The 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. Baldwin and wife at Mount 
Pleasant church, near Metz.  She was buried in the cemetery near 
Alvarado.  Thus one by one the old Pioneers are falling.
