On January 17, Johannes LeFevre died in Vassar Hospital, Poughkeepsie, in the thirty-ninth year of his age.
He was the second son of Moses LeFevre and Cornelia, daughter of Ira Deyo. He was born in New Hurley, and spent his early boyhood there on the farm. After his father's death the family moved to New Paltz where they lived until the children were grown and educated.
Mr. LeFevre was in business in New York for some years. In the summer of 1914, in partnership with Eugene Denniston, he bought the hardware business which had been conducted for a number of years by Mr. Burnett in our village. Afterwards he took over the entire business.
In October, 1915, he married Faye McFerran.
A few weeks before his death he was attacked by mastoiditis, from which he died in Vassar Hospital.
Besides his wife, he leaves two little boys, his mother and a sister, Helena, of Middletown, and a brother, Ira D. of Schenectady.
He was always so well and strong, so much a part of cheerful daily life, that it is hard to think of him as needing a memorial sketch. He used to remind people of his father, because he had the same manner; he was always light-hearted and pleasant in address, friendly and well liked. He was a kind father and husband, was very industrious and always at work.
The funeral was at his late home, at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, January 19. The service was conducted by Dr, Clapp, pastor of the Reformed church of which Mr. LeFevre was a member. All the business places in town were closed during the funeral. The Fire Department of which Mr. LeFevre was a member, attended in a body.
