Was born Jan. 7, 1821, in Cumberland county, Penn., and died March 27, 1910, in the home of his son George C., aged 89 years.
He was the son of John and Betsy Rinehart, sturdy pioneers of Lancaster, Penn. He was married June 29, 1855, to Lucy Ann Winchell, of Norwalk, Ohio. To this union were born four boys, one dying in infancy, those remaining are John L., of Angola; George C., of Otsego,and Elmer E. of Scott. His wife died in April, 1864, leaving him the care of a babe 7 weeks old, another child of 4 years and another of 8 years.
He leaves to mourn, his three sons, six grandchildren and three aged sisters, Mrs. Pardee, of Angola; Mrs. Clark, of Fremont; and Mrs. Berlien, of Athens, Alabama. Religiously he had a profound faith in the "The Book"; he was baptized in the Lutheran church, but had a strong preference for the Dunkards.
He farmed in this county for many years and spent the last ten years of his life with his boys. He was a very industrious man. In early life he suffered all the hardships and privations of the pioneer of half a century ago. As a young man he was handicapped by illness in his home, the long sickness of his wife, followed by her death and the death of his mother. With this was heavy indebtedness, the result of long sickness, and on his hands were three little children to care for.
Soon after the death of his wife he entered the army and served unto the end of the war, realizing all the weariness and horrors of war as he participated in battles like that of Nashville.
At the close of the war he began life again. Single handed, heroic, persistent, enduring until little by little he won from old mother earth the fruits and harvest which brought to him in his declining years the good comforts of home, to which was added the loving devotion of his children: giving him some compensation for the losses and pains of the earlier years. In his relations with his neighbors and friends he was strictly honest, with a careful obserance of good things, and willing to be helpful to those in need. He has received in a long life the fruit or arduous toil, the reward of honest living, the respect of many friends and has now entered into rest.
The funeral services were held at South Scott, the Rev. John Humfreys of the Congregational church officiating.
