JUDSON ROSS MICHAL.

Monticello Herald. Judson Ross Michal, the fifth and youngest son of Robert and Ann Michal, was born in Jordan township, Jasper county, Indiana, August 8, 1897, and died at the home of his parents in Reynolds, Indiana, May 9, 1918, being twenty years, nine months and one day old at the time of his death. The deceased had lived in and near Rensselaer all his life, and is generally known throughout that community. His parents moved from that community to Reynolds last autumn, since which time the-deceased has made occasional visits at Reynolds. The deceased was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church when he was a small boy. A few days after coming home this last time, when it seemed to those who attended him that he could not get well, he told his mother that he had great faith in God, that he had been praying all night, and felt that his sins were all forgiven, that if this should be his call he was ready to go. Two brothers, one of whom was Jud’s age when he died, have proceeded him in death. This leaves to mourn their loss, the father, the mother, two brothers, other more distant relatives, and a host of friends. The love and sympathy of the community are extended to his, bereaved family at the third journey into the Valley of the Shadow. May God comfort them in their sorrow and lead them on to a happy reunion in the Land where there is no shadow. A short service was held at the house at 8:30 a. m. Saturday morning then proceeded to Egypt cemetery in Jasper cuonty. The sermon was preached by Rev. Heimburger.
