Obituary.

Michael Duby was born in Canada,
April IS, 1899 and died at his home in
Fincastle, Ohio, July g. 1911, at the
age Of 70 years, months and % days
On August "a. 1872, he married Miss
Sarah Ann Mount, and to this union
we're born one son, John Franklin
Duby, and two daughters, Lizzie
Blanche Duby and Bertha Alzenia,
two are now living, the third dying in
infancy.
At the outbreak of the Civil War,
when men were needed to shape the
destinies of our country, and to uphold
the Union and the Flag, Mr.. Duby
cast i'm his life to turn the tide to
victory, enllsting in the S9th o V. l.
He served during the Civil War three
years and eight months and was
honorably discharged in June 1865.
Mr. Duby's parents we're Presby-
terians, but for himself he made no
pretense Of religious interest, neither
gave he it any attention.
For the past four years he has been
falling, his right arm having been
paralyzed and he suffered from other
troubles.
On July 9, 1911, in the afternoon,
his son, with whom he was living at
the time, and his daughter-in-law,
prepared and started to church.
After the service they were detained
by sickness, and could not return
home until after dusk had fallen, and
on coming home they found that
something was wrong. Searching for
a match the body of Mr.. Duby was
found upon the floor, lying, as God
has called him.
His life is o'er, and in the hands of
a just and merciful God, we must
realize that he has fallen, and we
know that God will act justly and
mercifully.
He was honest and earnest in busi'
ness dealings, patriotic, willing to
give, II need should be, his life for his
country, and as we lay him to rest
and as the years roll by, we shall
remember him, even as we remember
the other heroes who have gone be.
fore, knowing that If it had not been
for these our country, and our land
would have been torn, destroyed and
sacked by rebels.
Interment will take place at Union
Cemetery.
why they fought and bled together
And they shared the prison pen.
They faced the foe in battle
with the elbow touch of men.
They're fraternal, well, reckon
And their charities alright,
They are loyal they have proved 1t,
Fortbey left their homes to light
And this nation owes him homage
For the peace 1t now enjoys,
For there is nothing holds candle
To the old soldier boys.
