Death Notice for Henry Loucks
At Stone Arabia,
in the town of Palatine, County of Montgomery, on the 25th of May last, after
a short illness, in the 88"th year of his age, Mr. Henry Loucks, a person
of unblemished reputation. He was born in this State, of pious parents, and was
among the earliest settlers in Stone Arabia — Being brought tip from his
youth in the principles of the Christian religion, he became at an early period
of his life a member of the German reformed church, and as such continued unformily
a faithful an zealous supporter of it until he was called to a better home. Pew
persons, both by nature and habit, led a more peaceable, sober and exemplary
life — That he "wronged no one" was his ambition, and a principle
to which he adhered with scruulous exactness. As a testimony of respect to
the memory of the deceased, and an expression of grief for departed worth,
the most numerous concourse of relatives and acquaintances ever witnessed
on a similar occassion in that part of the country, attended his funeral.
