On the 2d inst., at his residence in Honeybrook two. of paralysis, Jacob Bruner, in his 69th year of his age. So calmly, so peacefully did he fall asleep in the arms of Jesus, that it was a privilage to be there to see so aged a servant of God finish his course with such cofidence, such composure, such firmness, such blessed hope of glory beaming from his countenance; that it was a privilege indeed, the granduer of which we shall not attempt to discribe. Born of pious parents and early taught the fear of the Lord, he sought and and obtained forgiveness of his sins as a youth, and united with the M. E. Church, in which he continued to witness a good confession forupwards of half a century. His Christian career was marked throughout by uniform courtesy, devotion and ernestness. He possessed a strong and well cultivated mind and an affectionate heart, all of which formed a cheerful exercise in the spere of a husband, parent, neighbor, patriot and christian. He lived in Christ, and dying triumphantly in Christ, he found its gain. D.D.T. VR. 6/19/1866.
