Levan D Wenger Found Dead In Lancaster Apartment
Levan D Wenger, a former Bareville area farmer now living in Lancaster, died from accidental illuminating gas exposure Monday afternoon in his West King Street apartment. A roomer smelled gas, found Wenger, and a gag heater hose detached from a gas bracket caused the leak. He was 72, a widower, with several sisters surviving. Private funeral services were held at Groffdale Mennonite church with interment in the adjoining cemetery. Funeral Directors P. C. Eckert & Son led arrangements.
