We have been acquainted with Uncle John, as he was usually called, for a number of years and have found him to be a man of sterling worth; he was respected by his neighbors, and was a general favorite with both old and young, which was proven by the large concourse of people who were in attendance at his funeral. There were 59 teams that joined the solemn procession and followed the old pioneer lo his resting place by the side of the wife of his youth in the Mohler cemetery, to await the summons from on high. Funeral services conducted by the writer of this notice at the spacious residence of his son Samuel, who now owns the old homestead. Rev. Geo. Miller.
