John Andrew Huber Died
Owen County (Indiana) Democrat, March 20, 1919. See Huber Family File, Owen
County Public Library, Spencer, Indiana.
John Andrew Huber was born in Union County, Indiana, July 28, 1853, and
departed this life March 3, 1919, age 65 years, 7 months and 55 days. He
was the eldest son of Daniel and Lydia Huber.
At an early age he came with his parents to Clay County where he resided
until his death. When 26 years of age, he was united in marriage to Laura
E. Beamer and to this union were born two children, James C. and Edna O.,
the latter having preceded him to the great beyond some 22 years ago.
When a young man he was converted and joined the Mt. Zion M. E. church where
he continued to hold his membership until he was called to the church
triumphant.
Of a kind and gentle yet firm disposition with a love for his fellowmen, a
desire to see the cause of God advance, and a willingness to help in any way
to advance that cause, the church and community has suffered a loss not
easily or quickly replaced.
Surviving him are his wife, Laura E., one son, James, two brothers, Ira and
William, three sisters, Mary Royer of Clay County, Cynthia Wallace of
Bowling Green, Elmira Kimmerle of Clear Lake, Montana, and a host of
relatives and friends who sympathize with these loved ones in their grief.
Monuments of his zeal for Christ can best be seen as we look into the faces
of those who were pointed to Christ by this faithful servant. There
remaineth a rest for those who love and serve God. Surely Brother Huber has
entered that rest.
The family wishes to thank the neighbors and friends for the kindness during
the sickness and death of their loved one. The burden has been made lighter
by the sympathy shown and help extended.
