Aged Citizen ,of Monon Will Be Buried Tomorrow Afternoon. Henry M. Baughman, an aged an(l respected citizen of Monon, died Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Rhssell, in that city, with whom he had mAde Lis home since the death of his wife. The funeral will be held at Monon at 1: 30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the Baptist church and will be in charge of the Masonic order, of which deceased had been a member for many years. It is hoped to secure Rev. J. C. Parrett of Hammond, former pastor of the Presbyterian church here, to con-j duct the services because of the, fact that he conducted the serv-j ices of Mrs. Baughman, who died! November 16, 1912. It is expected! that several of the Masonic breth- ■ ren from Rensselaer and other! neighborhing towns will attend the funeral. ' In speaking of his demise the Monon News says: “Mr. Baughman was born in Orange township, Richland county, Ohio, July 28, 1831, and was therefore 86 years, 8 months and 14 days of age at the time of his death.

He was a carpenter by trade, which he followed in his younger days. He was a ’member of the German Lutheran church and a charter member of the Masonic lodge of this place. He whs a large land owner and closely identified with improvements that have- brought Monon township to the front. The career of a useful citizen has closed and the welfare of the community has been conserved by reason of his life. ''Unassuming in manner, he had the highest esteem of others.’’ ■ '
