The funeral of Jacob Stimbert last Thursday was very largely attended by the general public, and owing to the sudden taking of and the distress of the numerous relatives, it was an unusually sad funeral. Pastor Kern was assisted by a former pastor of the church whose name we do not recollect. The deceased was 47 years old. His wife was the daughter of the brother of Benidict Stimbert and therefore his cousin. Mr Stimbert, the father now 74 years old, came on from Woodford county, Illinois to attend the funeral. His brother Benedict is one year older . The two boys of the deceased, Walter and Adolph aged respectively 19 and 15 years are now going on with the corn cultivation. The daughter, Louisa, now 21 years old is at home and assists her mother in the household duties. Father Stimbert returned to his Illinois home this week.
