DEATH OF JACOB RUBART.

On Saturday evening, February 26, at six o'clock, Jacob Rubart passed away at his residence near this city. He had been sick about three weeks with lung fever and had suffered much pain. For a number of years he had not enjoyed the best of health.

Jacob Rubart was born in Morgan county, Illinois, January 7, 1831, and was married to Margaret Angel, May 25, 1854. They had five children, all of whom are still living, viz.:-- James E., John A., Mrs. J. Richbart, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Myers. He came here in 1880, and purchased and settled on what was known as the Rambo farm. 

The news of Mr. Rubart's demise was received with deep regret by his many friends and neighbors who had been brought in contact with him during his residence here. He was a man of industry and good business habits, and had proved himself a worthy neighbor and friend to many.

The funeral service was preached by Rev. S. H. Dunkelberger, of the Evangelical church, Tuesday afternoon, and the remains were followed to their last resting place in Hartford cemetery by a large concourse of people.

The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in this dark hour. The husband and father, who has just passed over the river of eternity will be sadly missed not only by them, but by us all.
