BISH. JACOB C. KENAGY.
In Cass Co., Mo., March 6, 1894, Bish. Jacob C. Kenagy, passed away calmly and peacefully, conscious of his approaching end and with a clear mind to the last moment. He was aged 72 years, 7 months and 2 days. Funeral services were held on the 8th by John J. Hartzler and Peter Zimmerman in German, and Henry Richner, of Johnson county, in English. Brother Kenagy moved from Logan Co., Ohio, to Cass Co., Mo., in 1866, and organized a church with but few members, which prospered and steadily increased under his constant and indefatigable care to the number of some 300 members, notwithstanding the vicissitudes and stormy trials incident the office of a bishop where members collect from perhaps twenty or more different congregations, and who are educated into as many different modes and customs which are held as sacred by many as the Holy Scriptures. The number attending this funeral was estimated at 700. Peace be to our worthy brother's weary soul. J.K. ZOOK
