At the age of 21, his school days being over, he engaged in farming and for ten years thereafter was exclusively a tiller of the soil. In 1878 he retired and moved to Salisbury, where he has since lived a strictly retired life. For one term he served as school director in Salisbury. His political affiliations are with the Republicans. He is a member of the Brethren church.
Mr. LICHTY married, January 29, 1860, Elizabeth, born April 13, 1838, daughter of Nicholas KEIM of Addison Township, and their children are: Ross, born November 6, 1861, married Ida, daughter of Elias BAUERMASTER of Germany; Bruce, born August 4, 1865, a practicing physician of Meyersdale, married Fannie, daughter of William R.
