On the 3d inst., near Woodbury, Bedford County, Pa., Mr. Samuel Carper, formerly of Lebanon County, aged 83 years, 2 months and 27 days. Brother Carper was born in Lebanon County, May 7th, 1778. At an early age he was taken into full communion with the German Reformed church in Lebanon, by Father Lupp, who was pastor of the church at that place. Soon after his confirmation he was married to Miss Christiana Moyer, and in 1830 he moved from Lebanon County to Morrison's Cove, where he lived until his death. Brother Carper was one of the oldest and most influential members of the German Reformed Church, having been more than sixty years a regular member. He was blessed with much of this world's goods and whenever any object of benevolence claimed attention he was always willing and ready to do his part for the furtherance of the kingdom of Christ. He felt for a week or more before his decease that his earthly pilgrimage was rapidly drawing to a close; death therefore did not come in an hour unexpected to him. Ever since we knew him, which has been for many years, he always led a strictly Christian life and we have reason to believe that he is now reaping the fruits of his labors in eternal rest above. He lived long in the land which the Almighty gave him, and died in a good old age, on the 3d inst. His remains were followed to the grave by a large number of relations and friends, who thus paid to him their last tribute of respect.
