MRS ANNA LEHR
Mrs Lehr, having served her own generation, by the will of God "fell on sleep" on Tuesday, January 12, 1926. Up to a few days of her death she had been vivacious and comparatively active. At the age of 15, Mrs Lehr, then Anna Leicht, left Germany, the country of her birth and and came to Southold and ever since she made this village her home. Four years later she became the wife of Martin Lehr.
In March 1887, under the ministry of Dr Whitaker, both she and Martin united with the Presbyterian Church, of which she remained a most loyal adherent and ardent support to the day of her death.
Two years ago, Mr and Mrs Lehr celebrated the anniversary of their golden wedding and the passing years had served to rivet more closely the links that bound them. A large gathering of relatives and friends came to make the occasion a joyous one, and Rev Mr Lloyd "pronounced them anew husband and wife" amid the sincere congratulations of their friends.
For many years Mrs Lehr's home was opened to summer boarders and those who came were transformed into loyal friends and returned year after year until they claimed "her home to be their home too".
From time to time young men and maidens from her native Germany became inmates of this delightful home, and for several years these young people had the benefit of her strict discipline, and in every case they turned out to be competent in service and successful in business.
Mrs Lehr was a strong character in every way; strong in her convictions of right and duty, strong in her affections. She was devoted to family and friends, meeting with cheerful courage all the trying circumstances of life. In a life full of good deeds, she was guided by a fine and gentle tact, which is ever the accompaniment of keen and ready sympathy. Old and young alike brought their joys and sorrows to her unsought.
She was no hypocrite. When the truth had to be told, though it might hurt, she held nothing back. A keen business woman, possessing remarkable good judgement, great energy and unsullied honor; by nature she was enterprising and industrious, and it appeared that everything she touched she improved.
This life of service and sacrifice, of self-forgetting and devotion, is the precious heritage she has bequeathed to her husband, son and grandsons, and may the Great Healer fill the aching void in heart and home for which there is no earthly balm.
Her funeral services on the 15th of January were conducted by her pastor in her late home, a quartet rendering favorite hymns greatly adding to the impressiveness of the service. Interment was at the Presbyterian burial grounds.
