John H. BABER, 67, life-long resident of the Macy neighborhood succumbed at the hospital here at 4:15 Monday afternoon from injuries received Monday morning, when his gravel truck was struck by a Nickle Plate freight train at the Deedsville crossing. Although at no time following the accident did the injured man lapse into unconsciousness he gradually grew weaker, despite the efforts of the attending physician.

Mr. Baber was well know throughout Miami county and the southern section of Fulton county. For the past several years [he] was employed by the Miami county road department in construction and maintenance work. The body was removed to the Baber home 2-1/2 miles south of Macy, late Monday evening. John H. Baber was born in Miami County, near Peru, on August 24, 1862, the son of John and Elizabeth BABER, and his entire life had been spent in Miami County. On October 19, 1882 at Macy, Ind., he was married to Margaret A. LOSHER. Mr. Baber was a well known farmer and for several years had also been engaged in county road work. Surviving are his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Adelpha WHISTLER, of Peru, two sons, Wilson [BABER] and Roscoe BABER, of Macy; two brothers, Daniel BABER, of Denver, and Grant BABER, of Peru; three sisters, Mrs. Lavina MILLER and Mrs. Dora NYCE, of Peru, and Mrs. Mary COLLINS, of Grass Creek. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at two o’clock at the Deedsville United Brethren Church, of which he was a member. Rev. C. K.

After sixteen years of sickness and suffering, as the result of a fall when a boy, Bruce Gilbert MOORE passed away at 4:30 o'clock this morning at the home of his mother. When a lad of fourteen, Bruce was thrown from a horse and in the accident injured his ankle from which he never recovered and the joint always remained stiff and callused. When a young man he engaged in the barber business here and was very successful until from some cause his knee became affected with some disease unknown to the medical world. He was unable to leave his bed for many months and then in hope of recovering his health, had the limb amputated. He recovered sufficiently to be about but only for a short time. Last August rheumatism and all his old diseases began to trouble him and since that time had not been able to be out of the house. Monday he received a stroke of paralysis which seemed to affect him all over and death came as a relief. The deceased was the youngest son of Thomas C. MOORE, deceased, and was thirty eight years of age. He spent all of his life in Fulton county and leaves a mother, of Rochester, and a brother, Oliver [MOORE], at Athens.
