John U. Lingenfelter died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gahagan, in Oliver township, on Tuesday morning, Nov. 6, 1900, in Ihe 85th year of his age.
Mr. Lingenfelter was born in Bedford county, Pa., January 2, 1816, and came to Jefferson county in 1838 when this part of the country was a dense wilderness, and cleared and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Wm. J. Smith, near Grange in Perry township. Being one of the early settlers in Jefferson county Mr. Lingenfelter could recite many interesting experiences of the hardships encountered by the pioneers of those days when the farmer was compelled to haul his grain across the mountain to Hollidaysburg to market. In 1866 he purchased and moved to a farm near Sprankle's Mills, where he continued to reside until his death. Mr. Lingenfelter was twice married, his first wife having died in 1863 and the second in 1892. He leaves a family of grown up children. In 1853 he united with the Methodist Church, of which he was a consistent and honored member. Funeral services were held at the Ebenezer Church on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 8, conducted by Rev. L. H. Shindledecker, after which the remains were deposited in their final resting place in the church yard
