OBITUARY.

z Malachi Prevo, son of William and Phoebe Comer, was born Aug. 30, 1841, on a farm in Barkley township, this county. With the exception of a few years in his youth which were spent in Carroll county, his entire life wah spent in Jasper county. Early in life, he confessed his faith in Christ and for more than ,half a century he stood for the principles of Christianity. He was a firm believer in the virtue of family - worship, having practiced it since his confession in early life. On. this point he was uncompromising, rarely ever allowing anything to., interfere with these rites. During the latter part of his life he was, not a member of any of the local churches, but followed the dictates of his own conscience and worshipped where he saw fit Early in life he was married to Elizabeth Swaim. To this union Were born James M., Belle, Lillie, and a son who died in infancy. Belle and Lillie also preceded him to the great beyond. His first marriage was dissolved by death. Later he was married to Mary Jane Taulman, who preceded him in death a little more than a year ago. To this union were born three children: Mrs. Joseph Norman, Daniel V., and John W. Comer, all surviving him. During the civil war, he enlisted । in the service but was returned from 1 a training camp on account of an attack of lung fever. In his later life , he served a term as trustee of Union township several years was a justice of the peace for Barkley township. Fortified by the promises of Jesus which he claimed without reserve, he passed away peacefully at the county hospital December 29, 1919, at the age of 78 years, 8 months and 29 days.

Mrs. Joseph Moore and children went to Laporte today for a visit with her parents.

The Rev. E. S. Povolina, the con- ■ verted Austrian, who is a Croatian, told the story of his life at the Methodist church last night. There was only a fair crowd present. It is a wonderful story that he tells. It reminds one of the days of the martyrs. No one could hear the story without loving America more than ever. He is a living example of the possibilities of foreigners in America when brought under the right influences. He enters upon the work of Christianizing foreign speaking people in Gary/ as he speaks four languages and has a remarkable Christian experience. Those present felt that they were not only entertained but greatly benefited. NOTICE. AU the suits contesting ths will of the late Benjamin J.
