Job Westfall, veteran of the Civil War and a well known citizen over this section of Indiana died at his home at New Richmond at an early hour Wednesday morning, following an attack of heart failure with which he had been afflicted for some time. For many years following the close of the Civil War, no fourth of July celebration, Old Settlers’ meeting and many other gatherings of the old days, were complete without Job Westfall and his partner, Johnny Ellis, deceased several years ago, having a place on the program for their inspiriting fife and tenor drum martial music. Comrades together in the tragic days of the civil war, the companionship continued until Johnny Ellis answered the call of “taps” and he passed into that great comradeship of the future, where the two old pals have now struck glad hands in that reunion that will never again be broken. Job Westfall was a native of this county, the son of Enos and Elizabeth Westfall early pioneers and was born just north of Waveland and was 77 years old at his death. On December 24, 1863 he enlisted in the service of his country and served as a member of Co D, 63rd Regiment Indiana Volunteers and served until he was discharged April 10, 1866, after military hostilities had ceased. On Feb 16, 1869, he was united in marriage to Mary J. Francis and to this union four children were born: Marion Westfall of Rocky Ford, Colo; Elmer Westfall of Columbus, Indiana; Charles Westfall of Crawfordsville and one daughter, Mrs. Lillie Westfall Bunnell, wife of Rev. CJ Bunnell of Burnettsville, Ind who with the wife and mother survive. Beside these he is survived by five brother and six sisters: Mary Fay, Attica; Margaret Griffith, Indianapolis; Louella Baldwin, Edmore Mich; Martha Norman, Essexville, Mich; Rachel Baldwin and John Westfall, Waynetown; Basil Westfall, Waldo, Kansas; David Westfall, Cloverdale and Elisha Westfall of Oklahoma City, Okla. Two others are deceased – Desire Ann who passed away in youth and George Westfall who preceded his brother four years. He was an active member of the New Richmond Christian Church and Knights of Pythias order of that place. The funeral service will be this afternoon, Friday at the home in New Richmond at 2 o’clock. - kz
