Joseph H. Scoopmire was born May 23, 1842; departed this life, Jan. 8, 1822, age 79 yeears, 7 mo. and 15 days.
At the age of two years he came with his parents to the United States were they settled in Switzerland county, Indiana.
He was a soldier in the Civil War, having enlisted in the 6th Ind. Volunteers, Company H, at Madison, Indiana, while in service he was wounded three times and at the close of the war received an honorable discharge.
He was married Oct. 7, 1868, to Miss Virginia Aylor who survives him. To this union were born 8 children, 7 of whom survive; one daughter, Mrs. J.G. Cox, having departed this life Oct. 9, 1900.
The surviving children are: W.B. Scoopmire, Gallup, New Mexico; Mrs. Kennedy F. Rea, Washington, D.C.; Everett Scoopmire, Dillsboro, Ind.; Mrs. Joe Smith, Wasington, D.C.; Mrs. C.B. Lewis, Louisville, Ky.; Oscar and Reed Scoopmire, of Holton, Ind.
Mr. Scoopmire was a member of the Christian Church for many years. He was also a member of the G.A.R. and three fraternal orders, the F.& A.M., I.O.O.F. and K. of P. He was a kind husband and father, a good and honest citizen, having served his country in an official way.
It is needless to say his presence will be sadly missed in the home and community where he has lived for 50 years. The bereaved wife and children have the loving sympathy of the entire church and community.
May you find comfort in Christ and grant that you may live with Him in everlasting life.
"Lead, kindly light, amid encircling gloom;
Lead Thou me on; the night is dark and I am far from home.
Lead Thou me on."
