BRUBAKER.—In the Mt. Valley church, Greene Co., Tenn., June 2, 1880[ ?], Eld. Henry Brubaker, aged 74 years and 26 days. Brother Henry was born in Virginia. He embraced religion in his early life, was elected to the office of deacon, then was called to the ministry in 1868, and then ordained to the eldership, in which capacity he served until called by the great Head of the church to the home of the blest. He was the father of nine children. His first companion, two daughters and one son preceded him in the journey of life. All died in the Christian's hope. He left a second companion, four sons in the ministry, one deacon, and one wandering out of the fold of Christ, and a great many grandchildren to mourn their loss. He was not as able a minister as some, but for zeal and earnestness in the cause of Christ he had few superiors. He requested his funeral should be preached by the writer, which was done from Rev. 14: 13, to a large and attentive audience. Abraham Molsbee
