Gnagy - March 27th, in Clinton township, Elkhart county, Ind, of cancer, Pre John Gnagy, aged 71 years and 11 months. Bro Gnagy suffered for several years, yet he bore it all patiently.

He was born in Somerset county, Pa, and was there ordained to the ministry about fifty-two years ago, which office he filled as long as he was able, about a year previous to his death.

He resided in Lawrence county, Ohio, a few years, and then moved to Elkhart county, Ind.

He leaves a bereaved widow and eight children to mourn their loss.
