At the country residence two miles northwest of town, in this township, occurred the death of Michael Barrone of old age, on Sunday last, January 21, 1894. The deceased was born in Sumerset county, Pennsylvania, June 25, 1821. Thus making his age at the time of his death 72 years, 6 months and 27 days.
He was among the early settlers of this part of Indiana, having emigrated from Pennsylvania to Adams county Ind. 1841, landing at his destination or selected spot on January 17th. Shortly after his arrival in Indiana he became acquainted with Polley Brown and on March 30, 1847 they were united in marriage. This union proved to be a happy one and the two have pleasantly lived together from the marriage date up to the date when the husband was seperated by deaths summons, a period of nearly fourty seven years. The trails of this union were born eleven children, eight boys and three girls; of which two boys and one girl preceded their parents to the world beyond. The surviving aged companion and children were at the bedside of the aged father when he breathed his last and followed the remains to their last resting place. Besides the children of the family there are thirty three grandchildren and one great-grand child.
The deceased was one of the early settlers of Monroe township and witnessed the dense wilderness of pioneer days yield to the woodsmans ax and the clearing up of the now fine and well cultivated farms. He settled with his wife on the tract of land where he died in November 1850 and has resided there ever since.
When the late rebellion broke out he left his home and family and went out in defense of his country. In this cause he served until the close and came home suffering with disease caused from the hardships and privations through which the soldier boys were compelled to endure. In later years his complaint grew more severe and continued until about four years ago when he lost his eyesight, and has since that time up to the time of his death been entirely blind. He was a member of the G.A.R. Post of this place under whose care the funeral was conducted Tuesday last from the late residence.
The services were held at the M.E. Church, Rev. Kain of the Lutheran church officiating, who delivered a very impressive and appropriate sermon on the occassion. At the close of the sermon the remains were followed to the I.O.O.F. cemetery where after the G.A.R. post performed their last token of respect over the body of their departed comrade, all that remained was consigned to the tomb.
In the death of Michael Barrone, we are informed by W. T. Wilson, who has been a life long acquaintence of the deceased, that the last family chain has been broken, of among all the great settlers of this township.
