 The following from the Muncie
 Ind. Press is of interest to residents of this town, and particularly of this village, where MT. Lillibridge resided for several years, and where his brother, Herbert l.. Lillibridge, and a nephew. Wallace, still live. While Mir. Lillibridge was born in Ashford |, he was from the Wilmington Lilli- bridges: "Horation l.. Lillibridge was born at Ashford, Conn, March 12, 1848, and departed this life May 23, 1908, aged 60 years, 3 months and II days. MT. Lillibridge came to Munoie. Ind 12 years ago. Some months later he was followed by his family, consisting of his wife and son, and with them afterwards made his home here. He was united in mar riage with Miss Ellen Schoonover of Bushkill, Pa., Nov. 9, 1871. To this union were born four children, three sons and one daughter. Two sons and the daughter preceded him in crossing to the beyond. He was a member of the G. B. B. A., branch 12. from it's organization, and was a leading factor among his co-workmen. He was also a Master Mason in Uriel lodge. No. 24, of Morrow, Conn., for 35 years. MT. Lillibridge was 8 man of sterling integrity. veracity and valor and was of unstained character. All men knew him for his worth and manliness, all of whom feel that they have lost friend. His home was the repository for his comforts, his joys. OSA6O W hen his family was comfortable. He loved his home, his own loved him. He was of wonderful personality, yet conscious of his severe affiiction. He had much interest at heart for his home and it's needs. But he readily inquired and most devoutly sought a clear and pungent knowledge of the word of God. He was anxious to know the truth that would bring him into clear experience, which he so beautifully realized, and felt his com plete acceptance of God in Christ, with the assurance of sin pardoned, and received the rite of Christian baptism. His life here went out with his own words, that he was going home. He is gone from us into his peaceful rest, leaving to mourn their loss a most faithful wife and com- panion, and 8 noble and dutiful son, whose hands and love administered so tenderly and lovingly all that mortals could do. The burial rites were con- ducted from his late residence by Rev z. 0. Mower, May 25. at 2. 80 p. m., and his remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Beech Grove cemetery Ly kindly hands to await the final dawn. Rev. z. O. Mower" "
