Obituary from Whitecreek parish, Indiana (by Adam G. Becker)
Henry Gerhart Behrman was born March 8, 1855 in the parish of Schledehausen, Hannover. They first settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, later they came to Waymansville, Ind. Here in 1882 he married Maria, nee Kreinhagen. This marriage was blessed with two daughters and three sons.
As a young man, he was converted to God through the official activities of brother John W. Huber and joined the Methodist church. As a member of the church for 27 years he served in almost all of the offices of the congregation. He was punctual and faithful and always supported matters of God's Kingdom according to his ability.
He suffered for several weeks. During his illness he was fully committed to the will of God. The last words which he spoke to me in answer to my question whether the Savior was still his comfort, were "I am ready at any time. I have not been disappointed. Everything, - the way I expected it." He died as a result of a stomach ailment on April 9, 1900. He leaves a wife, 5 children, one stepson, a brother and many relatives.
In POB (Probate Order Book) M2, p. 300, his will was admitted to probate. On p. 312, his wife Mary files to be administrator. On p. 424, Mary was appointed administrator. On p. 440, Mary filed report of monetary appraisement and these children were listed: Edwin L., Edith M., Alfred W., Franklin H., and Walter. In POB N2, p. 399, there is a copy of the probate of Henry G's estate.
