Joseph Leininger & Dinah Silva Rice
JOSEPH G. LEININGER
Joseph Gustav Leininger, the son of William Leininger, Sr., and his wife, Katharine, was born on November 5, 1889, in Fulton County, Ohio. In the same year on December 15th he was received into God's covenant of Grace of through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. Having received due instruction in the Word of God under the Rev. J. F. Ruff, then Pastor of St. James Lutheran Congregation, he was received into Communicant membership.
On October 10, 1912, he was united in Holy Wedlock to Dinah Silva Rice. As they spent their days on the farm in the vicinity just south of the city of Archbold, God gave them, in addition to innumerable other blessings, the gift of four children: Velma or Mrs. William Leupp, Paul, Willard, and Arnold.
Joseph departed this life last Tuesday morning, September 11, after an apparent stroke. In response to the call of those who loved him, his Pastor was privileged to speak to him once again, of the Love of God for sinful man bestowed through faith in Jesus Christ.
Preceding him in death are his parents and one brother, Edward. He leaves to mourn his passing, in addition to his widow and children, one sister, Mrs. Clara Rice, three brothers: Emil, Gustav, and William, ten grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Following the Service at St. James Lutheran Church his remains were committed to the grave in St. James Lutheran Cemetery.
I may not know the reason why
Dark clouds so often veil the sky,
But tho� my sea be smooth or rough,
The Lord knows why and that�s enough.
I may not know why I am led
So often in the paths I dread,
But, trusting Him, I�ll press my way;
The Lord knows why, I will obey.
I may not know why death should come
To take the dear ones from my home,
But tho� mine eyes with tears be dim,
The Lord knows why -- I'll trust in Him,
So tho� I may not understand
The leadings of my Father�s hand,
I know to all He has the key,
He understands each mystery.
