Rev. Solomon Gehman, "was born July 21st, 1841. On May 3rd, 1864, he was married to Angeline Shantz who was born April 10th, 1846. After their marriage they moved on his father's old homestead where he is still residing. On November 26th, 1882, he was ordained unto the ministry of the Mennonite denomination by Bishop Amos Cressman. His field of labor is Detweilers and Blenheim. Of the many young men who were ordained unto the ministry of the Mennonite Church since 1870 none have surpassed him as an orator. As a preacher he is highly interesting and acceptable. His sermons are always distinguished for appropriate and well-digested thought, far from being dry and merely a repetition of meaningless gestures and phrases, but, on the other hand, they are well seasoned with gospel truth accompanied by the Holy Ghost. He has done much to raise the standard of the church of his choice. Parties of all denominations love to be instructed spiritually by his soul-cheering sermons. He seems to be a favorite, not only among his own members but also of those of other sects and nationalities. To him and his wife is born the following family, viz:" |
