On the 16th day of May, in Putnam Co., O. Bro. JOHN HUBER, of a lingering disease, aged 53 years and 15 days. He leaves a wife and 7 children to mourn the loss of a kind father and husband. Three of his children died before him. Funeral services by C. B. Brenneman and C. Culp, from Prov. 14:32. Bro. Huber was a faithful member of the Mennonite church, and died with the full hope of entering into that rest, which is prepared for the people of God, expressing both a desire and a readiness to go home, also wishing to meet all his children there. His oldest son Jacob who resides in Missouri, came when the funeral sermon was about half over, the excitement of the afflicted family on his arrival, may be better imagined than described. He was in good time yet to see his father buried. May God comfort and bless the bereaved family.
"Dearest father thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
