Mr. and Mrs. Will Harshbarger attended the funeral of Mr.
Harshbarger's uncle, William R. Harshbarger at Ladoga,
Sunday.
The deceased was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Harshbarger
and was born near Ladoga, Nov 10, 1841.
He was a minister of the Church of the Brethren, commonly
called the Dunkards and had preached over a wide area of this
country.
Word was sent from Ladoga to Colfax that "Uncle Will is dead,"
and Mont Harshbarger came from that place under the impression
that it was our Will Harshbarger. -- typed by kbz
