Mr.. Brohard was a native of West Virginia.
In the year 1861 he moved to Jackson County,
Oh %, in which county he resided until DEATH
When about 81 years of age, he became men,
Der of the Baptist Church. in which church he
lived consistent member until death. He
was always exemplary in his attendance at
public worship. 1t was always his purpose to
so arrange his home matters to be present in
the House of God on Sunday. Nothing but alb
solute necessity would keep him away, and
nothing grIeved him more than TO be precuded
from what he always deemed his highest privi-
.lege. He was always ready to promote every
Institution having for it, object the salvation
of sinners and the glory of God He was al
ways ready to lend helping hand TO all who
needed his assistance.
Mr. Brohard was given to hospitality. His
house was frequented by ministers, brethren,
and friends, and to his table they received a
hearty welcome All who were pei sonally ac-
Quainted with the dee eased knew enough about
him TO assure them of, and impress them with,
the beauty and worth OF his Christian charac-
ter, and to make them sensible of the greatness
of their loss and grief. Continually engaged in
laboring for Christ, he was a model in many
respects. His Christian duties, so far from be-
ing drudgery to him, We're his delights and
wherever and whenever he was called to dis
charge his duty he ready to obey, and felt
a pleasure in SO doing He Ii we'd not long
as many, and surely not as long as might have
been expected, yet he lived well his short time
He practiced as best he could what he pro-
fessed Bold in defending the gospel, yet
meek and humble disciple of Christ. While he
shone conspicuous in the Church, and in the
Sabbath School of which he was and had been
for some years Superintendent, yet was unos-
tentatious and unassuminG. To those
quainted with him, he appeared to approach
near the Christian standard is is given to man
in this life. But he is gone, and his voice we
shall hear no more. His lips are sealed in
death-the countenance that gladdened his
home and all around him is laid in the cold
grave. He is removed far from mortal view,
his spirit has winged its flight into the world
of cloudleSs day. He felt that to him to
"live was Christ and to die was gain" for it
is written: "Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from this time on, yea saith the spir-
it, for they rest from their abors." So he is not
dead, but sleepeth. HE shall sleep, but not
forever. There will be a glorious dawn" for if
we believe that Jesus died and rose again. even
SO them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him." The deceased has left a wife
and six children to mourn their loss. Who
will repair that earthly breach to them? Theirs
is loss that cannot be repaired by any earthly
power. OF his support, instruction, guidance
and prayer they are evermore bereaved. Let
| them have an interest in our sympathy, and
| in prayers-pray that they may be the
objects of Gods protecting the subjects OF
| His redeeming love. E. w. LLOYD
