SAMUEL BURKHOLDER
Samuel Burkholder, son of Jacob and Susan Burkholder, was born near Ridgeville Corners,
Henry County, Ohio, August 24, 1865 and passed away at St. Vincent's Hospital, Toledo, Ohio,
November 13, 1940, having attained the age of 75 years, 2 months and 19 days. On January 2, 1890
he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Cameron, also of Ridgeville Corners. They were happy to
observe their fiftieth wedding anniversary last January 2.
To this union were born nine children, all surviving. While still a young man he became a member of
the Reformed Mennonite Church and has been a faithful member to the last. While in the hospital
shortly before he passed away he expressed a desire to go to meeting just once more to bid the
*brethern and sisters farewell. He stated that, even though he could not be there in body, his mind and
spirit would be with them. He had a pleasant and cheerful disposition and was always eager to
cultivate new acquaintances, and visit with his old friends. This characteristic will make him be deeply
missed by all who have had the privilege of knowing him.
He leaves to mourn his departure his bereaved wife, one daughter, Susie at home and eight
sons; Andrew E. of Delta; Ralph of Wauseon; Dr. O. W. of Toledo; Nelson of Wauseon; Samuel D. of
Wauseon; Maurice of Napoleon; Jacob of Alger, and Corwin of Delta. Beside the immediate family he
has twenty-two grand children and two great grandchildren, two brothers, John of Archbold and
Andrew M. of Wauseon, two sisters, Mrs. Catherine Weckesser of Pettisville and Mrs. Mary
Zimmerman of Wauseon, and numerous cousins and more distant relatives and a
large circle of friends. The funeral services were held Saturday, Nov. 16, conducted by his Pastor
Rev. Wm Rupp. Burial, was made at Lauber Hill cemetery.
Card of Thanks The family wishes to take this opportunity to thank the many friends and neighbors for
their kind assistance and expression of sympathy in this time of sorrow, also to thank their many
friends for flowers.
