Obituary.

Minerva J. Kirk was born Nov. 20th 1828 in Wayne Co., Ind., near Richmond. Her Maiden name, was Kersey. Her parents, one of whom still lives, together with brothers and three sisters, were -quakers; and all her early associations were among that sect. She was a student at theneducational institution know as Spiceland Academy, and afterwards became a teacher there. At the age of seventeen she removed with her parents to Porter county where for five years she engaged in teaching, and many of her earlier pupils have risen to distinction. She was married at the age of 22, about which time she united with the M. E. Church.

She was the devoted *nd tender mother of nine children, two of whom died in early life. Her devotion to her children was one of her strongest characteristics, being only equalled by her dependence on Christ for her strength. Her life, to the Christian observer, was a complete and grand success. She dies mourned by all who knew her, and her children, at least, will cherish her virtues and example and make every effort to meet her in “that home where the wicked do not trouble and her weary soul finds rest.” Sleep on, dearest Mother, sleep.
