In Petrolia, N. Y., March 3, 1887, Ira S. Witter, in the 70th year of his age. Some sixteen years ago, he was afflicted with paralysis; he was, however, confined to his bed but four weeks; he endured his sufferings with great patience, trusting in God, and when the summons came he felt ready and anxious to go, leaving his friends the consolation that he has gained a glorious victory through Christ. His funeral was held in the church on Niles Hill, N. Y., and he was buried in Scio. He has left a wife with five children and a large number of other relatives.
