Loucks.-On the 1st of April 1890, near Wakarusa, Elkhart Co., Ind., Anna Loucks, daughter of John Barkey, aged 81 years and 7 months. She was born September 1st, 1808 in Westmoreland Co., Pa., and was married to Peter Loucks on the 1st of February 1827. They lived in matrimony for 63 years and 2 months. Their union was blessed with 12 children, 7 sons and 5 daughters, of whom two daughters preceded her to the Spirit world. She was buried at Yellow Creek on the 3d where a large concourse of relatives and friends followed her mortal remains to their last resting place. She leaves a bereaved husband. May the good Lord bless the aged brother and strengthen him so that he may be able to bear his grief with Christian resignation. He has the blessed consolation that he need not mourn as one without hope. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite church and bore all her afflictions with patience, fully resigned to the will of the Lord and having a living hope of a blessed immortality in the world to come. Funeral services by Noah Metzler and David Burkholder from Phil. 1:21 and Rev 14:13.
