Lybarger, Daniel -- DIED -- February 3, 1869, DANIEL LYBARGER, aged 83 years, 9 months and 12 days.  The deceased was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, April 21st., 1785.  In 1830 he emigrated to Knox County, Ohio.  In 1832 he came to Richland County, and opened a home in the then almost unbroken forest, with all the disadvantages of pioneer life around him and his then small family.  With the accustomed energy of those pioneer days, he soon transformed his forest home into a beautiful and valuable farm, upon which he spent his manhood and the declining years of his pious and useful life.  There he long lived to enjoy the fond endearments of family and home, and there he at last laid down his pilgrim staff, and gently fell asleep in Jesus, to awake in the new life of the Lords saints in glory.  In early life, probably at about 20 years of age, he was confirmed a member of the Lutheran Church.  Thus for a period of 60 years at least, did the seeds of early piety continue to grow, ever developing richer fruits of faith, until all was fully consummated in his enlarged Christian experience, holy life, and complete readiness at any time to answer the Master's call to the heavenly home.  His piety evidenced itself, in a quiet and orderly life, in universal charity to all believers, and a devoted attachment, faith and reverence for the Church and her ordinances, as well as an ardent love for God's ministries.  His death was sudden, having been called by a paralytic stroke, which he survived only fourteen hours, during which time he was speechless, but seemingly conscious.  Closing his eyes as in sleep, he gently passed away into the calm repose of death's peaceful slumbers.  His death was unexpected, as during the day of his attack he seemed more than usually well, and spent most of the day in reading Fleetwood's Life of Christ.  His funeral was largely attended.  The services were conducted by Rev. N.H. Loose, assisted by Rev. D. Summers.  [Shelby Independent News:  11 February 1869, Vol. 1, No. 14]
