tenderly cared for in his last sickness.  The daughter, Della

and George P. Light, of Bisbee, Arizona.  Besides these there

brothers, Charles Light, of Oregon, and Orlenzo Light, of 
Scott township, Steuben county, Indiana.
   Mr. Light was energetic, painstaking, strictly honest and 
ever ready to help the needy, as many of his neighbors could 
testify.  Through all his long sickness, when his body was 
racked with extreme torture, he expressed a willingness to go 
and often wished that the end might come, and thus he entered 
the presence of the Great Judge.
