JONATHAN PHILIP LUSHER.
Jonathan Philip Lusher was born April 29, 1828, near Huntingdon, Blair county, Pa., and died at East Hickory, Pa., Jan. 3, 1898, aged 69 years, 8 months and 4 days.
His boyhood was spent near the place of his birth, and a part of his after life in Blair, Cambria, Clearfield and Venango counties. He came to Rockland, Venango county, about 1878, and from there he moved to East Hickory, Forest county, in 1885, where he had since resided. He married Sarah A. Smith, of Clearfield county, who survives him, on May 19, 1853. To Mr. and Mrs. Lusher were born fifteen children, four of whom are dead. Those living are: Mrs. Joseph Graham and Albert Lusher, of West Hickory, Pa.; John and Howard Lusher of Stoneham, Warren county, Pa.; Mrs. Elizabeth Noble of Tionesta, Pa.; Mrs. Hettie Becket, Mrs. Alice McDonald, Harry Lusher, Mrs. Cordia Bender, Miss Myrtle Lusher and Henry Lusher, all of East Hickory, Pa. Those dead, died in infancy and are buried in the cemetery at Haggerty's Cross Roads in Clearfield county.
Mr. Lusher, until the year 1888, had been a hearty, healthy man. About that time he had a slight stroke of paralysis. Since eight months preceding his death he had been unable to engage in any kind of work, but only four weeks before he died had he been confined to his bed. He had never been connected with any church and had never been a professor of religion. During his recent illness for some months past he became desirous concerning his spiritual welfare, and was made the subject and object both of prayer and spiritual labor by the Christian people of Hickory. He died, from his own testimony, trusting in the merits of Christ, the darkness dispersing, the way becoming clear, and the fear of death gone.
Funeral services were held in the M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 5, Rev. T. J. Stone of the F. M. church and Rev. J. E. Hillard of the M. E. church, officiating in the services. The interment after the services being in the East Hickory cemetery.
