BACHMAN, John B.
Addie, his wife.

Obituary published in the Lititz (PA) Record, 2 May 1918, pg. 1.

" Death of John B. Bachman ;
John B. Bachman, one of the county's well-known and successful school teachers for many years, died at his home on Locust street, this borough, on Saturday morning at 9.30 o'clock, aged 48 years. Death was due to blood poisoning. Mr. Bachman taught school at Elstonville during the past term which closed several weeks ago. He then began working at the chocolate factory where he scratched his hand with a piece of sheet iron. Mr. Bachman paid little attention to the scratch at first, but it soon became very sore and when a physician was consulted blood poisoning had set in and advanced to a precarious state. All efforts of the attending physician were unavailing and Mr. Bachman departed this life after an eleven days' illness. He was a son of the late Eugene A. and Fannie Ritter Bachman and was born at Kissel Hill. He was graduate of Weidler's Business College at Lancaster and the Millersville State Normal School, and has been teaching school in this county for the past twenty- two years. For a number of years he resided at Farmersville where he taught school and served as a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Bachman moved to Lititz seven years ago and for several years conducted a machine shop with his brother and father. While residing here he attended the Moravian church and was assistant teacher of the Pastor's Bible Class in the Sunday-school. On November 24, 1898, he was married to Miss Addie Althouse, of Binkley's Bridge, who survives, as does a son Harvey, at home, and the following brothers and sisters: Jacob, of Lititz; Monroe, of Des Moines, Iowa; Mrs. Harry Martin, of Eden, and Mrs. Henry Eberly, of White Horse. The funeral was held on Tuesday morning, with interment in the United Zion cemetery Rothsville. Rev. E. S. Crosland officiated."
