ENNES - Died, near Texas, Henry county, Ohio, Jan. 7th, 1879, of lung fever, after a painful illness of several days, Alonzo H. Ennes, aged 59 years, 1 month and 20 days. The subject of this notice embraced the Advent faith in 1855, and has ever since been a firm believer in the same. In his last sickness he seemed to prize his hope more dearly than ever before, looking forward to the time of the coming of the savior with delight, and in his deepest affliction never murmured but called his children around his dying bedside and admonished them to live true men and women.
Six children, two sons and four daughters, and six grand-children are called to part with a kind and indulgent parent. The companion of the deceased died nine years ago, and the recent sad occurrence of losing their last parent leaves six orphans, four of whom are left to battle with the trials of life alone.
Funeral services were held at Texas, Rev. A. E. B. Baickly, of Liberty Center, officiating. The sermon was able, earnest and impressive. Text, Job 14th chapter and first clause of 14th verse, "The future life."
