AMOS B. BACHELOR, 24 Apr 1825 - 29 Jan 1905

   Amos Bachelor was born in Lake county, Ohio, April 24, 
1825, and died at his home in Angola, Ind., January 29th, 
1905, aged 79 years, 9 months and 8 days.  He came with his 
parents to Steuben county in 1837, and has been a resident of 
this county most of the time since that date. In early life 
he united with the Baptist church at Lake Gage, and ever 
afterward kept the faith, saying he was ready to go when the 
summons should come.
   February 21, 1850, he was united in marriage to Susan 
Burroughs.  To this union were born five children, one of 
which died in infancy.  The wife, one daughter, three sons, 
two brothers, one sister, six grandchildren, together with 
many other relatives and friends are left to mourn.  They 
commit him to his Heavenly Father who deals justly with all 
His children.
