HUBER - Jacob B. Huber was born in Perry Co., O., Dec. 1, 1844; died at his home near Elida, O., June 2, 1923; aged 78y. 6m. 1d. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth C. Good, Dec. 29, 1865. To this union were born 6 sons and 5 daughters. One daughter preceded him in death. He leaves a sorrowing companion, 6 sons, 4 daughters, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, 49 grandchildren, and many relatives and friends. He united with the Mennonite Church in 1866, in which faith he was loyal until the end. He was ordained to the office of deacon in Morgan Co., Mo, in the year 1872 or 73, in which capacity he served the Church as long as physical strength permitted. On Sept. 20, 1921, he had a stroke of paralysis, after which he was unable to walk, but could sit in his wheel chair most of the time during the day. The last six weeks of life, however, he was almost entirely helpless. A short time before he died he expressed himself as longing to go to rest. In his affliction he surely did "let patience have her perfect work." Buried in the Salem Cemetery, June 5, in the presence of a large assembly of relatives and friends. Services by J. B. Smith assisted by the home ministers. Text, Rev. 14:12,13.
