Obituary.

Fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 9, 1879, at Wolf Lake, Noble county, Ind., Bro. Jacob Karr, aged 94 years and 6 months. Father Karr made a profession of religion sixteen years ago, but never united with any church until about one year since, when he became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Wolf Lake. He listened to and embraced the truth about three years ago. Although he was nearly ninety-two years old, and had been addicted to the constant use of tobacco for more than seventy-five years, he gave it up entirely. He was baptized last spring. He seemed devoted, and often spoke in the social meetings. He leaves a large circle of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the writer to a large and attentive congregation.
