GEORGE E. LIBEY, 15 Jan 1838 - 24 Apr 1902

   George E. Libey was born in Richland county, Ohio, Jan. 15, 1838, and 
died at his home in Hudson, Ind., April 24, 1902, aged 64 years, 3 months 
and 9 days.
   In 1847 he moved with his parents to DeKalb county, this state, which 
was at that time almost a wilderness.  In 1870, he moved to Steuben 
county, where he has since resided.  He was married to Matilda Houser, 
Jan. 20, 1861.  To this union were born eleven children, eight sons and 
three daughters.  Four of the children preceded him to the land of rest.  
Three died in infancy, and the eldest son, Franklin, about eighteen months 
ago.  Mr. Libey was converted to God in 1878, uniting with the United 
Brethren church.  He was true to the church of his choice and remained 
faithful until death.  His end was that of the perfect man--a peaceful 
end.
   The church has lost a faithful member, the wife a kind and loving 
husband, and the children a fond father.  But their loss is his eternal 
(gain).  He leaves a companion, seven children, three sisters, two 
brothers, sixteen grandchildren and many friends.  Funeral services were 
held at the U. B. church in Hudson, Sunday, April 27, at 10 o'clock, 
conducted by Rev. A. H. Tussing.
