OBITUARY

The death of Rev. Andrew J. Haun was announced last week. Mr. haun was an old resident of the county and we have endeavored to secure material for a suitable obituary.

Andrew J. Haun was born in Green county, Tennessee, November 13, 1882.[obvious newspaper error, as this is the death date. He was born October 1, 1822.] His home was there until his marriage, which took place December 23, 1845 when he was untied with Miss Dinah D. Andrews, at the home of her parents in Jefferson county, Tennessee, Rev. Wm. Senter performing the ceremony.

In the fall of 1852, he professed religion, and soon after removed to Johnson county Missouri, where he united with the Methodist church. Soon after he was licensed as a local preacher and aboded there until after the war, and labored there until the end of the war.

In the fall of 1864, he removed to Kansas, where he has resided continually since that time. He was well-known and highly esteemed by his neighbors, and had a large circle of friends.

Shortly before he was taken with his last illness, Mr. Haun had been on a visit to friends in Missouri and Texas. He returned home October 15 and a few days was taken sick with bilious fever. His sickness was not deemed serious and he was soon again attending to his farm duties. On the 30th of October he suffered a relapse, and his strength failed slowly from that time until his demise. He was conscious to the last, and frequently had friends sing and pray at his bedside. His death was painless.

Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church at Parkerville, and his remains were interred in the Methodist cemetery.

Old settlers, especially, will regret Mr. Haun's death. To them he was well-known as a citizen and as a preacher.To bereaved family and friends, the REPUBLICAN would extend condolence and sympathy.
