-Notice was made last week of the death of Mr. David BARB, but a further mention of the life and character of one who was so well and favorably known cannot be uninteresting. Mr. Barb was born at North Bristol, Ohio, May 25th, 1828; died at Rochester, Ind., Dec. 19th, 1879, aged 56 years, 6 months and 24 days.
Mr. Barb was twice married. By the second union five children were born, of whom three daughters survive.
The last Mrs. [Mary J.] BARB departed this life some six years ago. Mr. B. had been a constant sufferer from paralysis for more then seven years preceeding his death, but bore all his afflictions with patience and faced death with resignation. The funeral took place at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock, where a large company had gathered to show their regard to his memory. The pastor, Rev. A. M. WORK, officiated and was assisted by Rev. N. L. LORD. The I.O.O.F. concluded the solemn rites of burial at the
grave. .
