BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 21, 1902 OBITUARY. DIED – At his home at this place, Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock, Feb. 12, 1902, Joseph Brinegar, in his 63rd year. He had been sick for a long time but Wednesday morning the sunset of life passed away. When he was a young man he left this place and went to Kansas. While he was there he was married to Miss Elizabeth Ratlef. About 22 yeas ago he came back to this place and lived here until death. Three of their children are now gone and now the father is gone. Mr. Brinegar did not tell on his death bed where he was going and we must not judge for it is said in the Holy Bible, judge not for ye might be judged by the same judgment. Mr. Brinegar united with the Methodist church several years ago and lived that life until death. He was always at church when he was able to go, and took part in prayer in public. He will be missed by the whole community. His funeral took place at the Judah School house Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 12th, conducted by Rev. Charlie Norman and attended by a large crowd. His remains were laid to rest in the Judah cemetery. He leaves a wife, three sons and four daughters to mourn his loss. We must watch therefore, for we know not what hour our Lord will come. For the rest that Jesus chose, Never reaches us too late; And the highest bliss of Heaven, Crowns at last the heart that waits.
