Lybarger died Thursday evening, November 12, at his home near Madley from an attack of typhoid fever, which apparently brought on fatal results to injuries sustained earlier in life and almost forgotten. No man in the neighborhood in which he lived was more highly esteemed. Quiet and inoffensive, yet companionable, always willing to assist a neighbor to the extent of his ability. He was the youngest of the family of David and Hetty Lybarger, and was married in May to Mrs. Bertie Coughenour (nee Stouffer). Besides his widow he leaves to mourn his death three brothers and four sisters, namely: Mrs. Frank McCoy, L. D., E. E., and J. A. Lybarger, Mrs. W. L. Mickey, Mrs. J. E. Kring, and Mrs. George Holler. He was aged 37 years, three months and two days. He was buried on Sunday in the cemetery at the Lutheran Church at Madley, services being conducted by Rev. Wise of the United Evangelical Church.
