Read More	At the residence of his brother George W. Blocher, on Tuesday morning, June 1, 1897, Christian Blocher, aged eighty years, ten months and eighteen days. Death was caused by a complication of diseases and old age. He was always of stout constitution and was only confined to his room the last few days of his life. The deceased was a farmer by occupation, which pursuit he followed all his life up to a few years ago, when on account of failing health, the death of his wife, and his children all being grown and scattered, he gave up the farm and lived with his children up to about a year ago, since when he has been living with his brother, George W., who is noted for his hospitality to strangers as well as relatives. Deceased had been a devout member of the Dunkard church for the past fifteen years. The funeral sermon will be preached in the Cherrytree Dunkard church, in the near future, by Rev. Silas Hoover, of Pennsylvania. In early life he married Miss Anna Crowe, from which union three sons and three daughters are left to mourn their loss, all being married but Oliver, the youngest of the family. The deceased was the owner and mostly cleared himself the farm now owned by Mr. D. W. Warn, where he lived nearly fifty years and raised his family. A lovely wreathe of flowers was plucked from the shrubs that "Grandpa" (as he was generally called) had set out years ago, by Miss Ellen Warn, and placed on the casket. The remains were interred in the old Blocher cemetery near the old Blocher mansion where he was born. They were followed to the grave by one of the largest crowds that has turned out in years to pay the last tribute of respect to their old neighbor.
