October 31st, in Hawpatch church, La Grange county, Indiana, Bro. James Morrell, aged 73 years, 6 months and 6 days. He was buried on the 2d of November, followed to his last resting place by a very large concourse of relatives and friends. Services were held in German by Isaac Schmucker, and in the English by John F. Funk, of Elkhart, from John 5: 24-29.
Bro. Morrell was a member of the Amish Mennonite church. He bore his affliction with calmness, patience and resignation, keeping his trials and troubles, in a large measure to himself, and took pains to make as little trouble as possible for those who waited on him. He was rational to the last, and the last he was understood to say was something about traveling. We trust he has gone to meet those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, and to dwell forever there "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."
