George Huber
A cloud of saddness settled down over our town shortly after 9:00 o’clock Thursday morning when the news was spread that George Huber, one of our most highly, respected citizens, had passed away a few minutes
before.
He had gone to his poultry house to do some work when his wife saw him fall and ran to his assistance. Neighbors soon gathered, but before they could get him to the house he had expired. Mr Huber had complained of heart trouble, for several weeks and apoplexy caused his death.
“Let him that would be chiefest among you be the servant all.” This classic announcement of the Master, is a striking exemplification in the life of our departed brother and friend. No man in the community was more generally loved. His friendship knew no class or age, but he had a word of cheer and a kindly smile for all.
One of our cherished memories will be an evening spent at his home. Tested and refined in the great school of varied experience and environment, he held our closest attention as he related his business ventures, travels, etc.
The spiritual side of his nature was marvelously developed and persons always felt better for being in his presence. His words of counsel and cheer will ever be remembered. The “lifeless clay,” the beloved form of Brother George has been consigned to its final rest, but his radiant soul goes marching on. Our community is happier and better because he was a part of it.
The Methodist church was filled to capacity Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral, which was conducted by Rev W B Fallis, pastor, assisted by Rev David Yoder, a nephew of the deceased. Burial at Olive.
George, son of John and Anna Huber, was born in Putnam county, Ohio, Sept 24, 1853.
On Jan 9, 1876, he was united in marriage to Sarah Amelia Swickard in Sandusky, Ohio.
He passed away at his home in Wakarusa, Indiana, Oct 4, 1923.
He leaves to mourn, his sorrowing wife, an invalid brother, three sisters and many friends.
His parents, two sisters and three brothers preceded him. His brother, Jacob, passed away June 2, 1923.
Brother, thou was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Brother Huber was converted in the winter of 1903 and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Coldwater, Mich, and in taking up his residence in Wakarusa, transferred his membership to the Wakarusa Methodist church, of which he was member at the time of his death. He has lived a devoted christian life until he left us.
