Wabash Plain Dealer, Wabash, IN, June 27, 1862.
REV. SAMUEL E. HIBBEN.
It is with the deepest feelings of sorrow that we record the death of one relative, Samuel E. Hibben, who died in Peoria, Illinois, on Tuesday the 8th inst., aged 28 years. A graduate of Oxford University, taking the first honors of a class of 36, and a graduate of Princeton, he entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Church, (O. S.), giving promise of a career of usefulness cheering to his friends, and flattering to the Church in which he had been reared. He was the third son of Samuel E. Hibben, Esq., of Hillsborough, Ohio, who had bestowed upon him every advantage which education could afford, and no father had fonder hopes of his son's usefulness, yet a mysterious but righteous Providence has suddenly thrown over those hopes the clouds and darkness of the eternal future, and the young minister and promising son is no more among mortals. He had been married nearly two years before his decease, to Miss Libby Grier, daughter of John Grier, Esq., of Peoria, Illinois, and leaves behind him not only a mourning widow, but also a little son of 13 months old. As Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Peoria, he has given the highest satisfaction, and much to the regret of his entire congregation, on account of his poor health, induced by sedentary habits, he resigned his charge a few months ago, and accepted the chaplaincy of a Peoria regiment, in which he served in Tennessee with faithfulness, until seized with typhoid or camp fever, when he was taken to Peoria again, where, amid the tears and regrets of his people and friends, he breathed his last, in full hope of a blissful immortality. His father was present at his death, and took his remains to Hillsborough, Ohio for interment. Samuel Milhous Hibben, Editor.
