Most of the brethren who were
active members of the church at
that time have passed to the
great beyond. / recall The name
of Jacob Goodnight A better
man was hard to find. He had
good family and I remember well
his wife and one daughter, Liz
zie She is now the wife of that
enterprising farmer and stock
raiser, w. w Mundy, who lives
near Moline. | also recall to
mind that noble man Of God. and
his good family, CUTLER Roberts.
| remember him so well Many a
happy and pleasant day I have
spent in his hospitable home. Sis
ter Roberts still lives. She makes
her home with her son-in-law,

old homestead. Bro. Surber is
true man of God, and one of the
principal members of Liberty
