The Rev. Lewis Hurlbut, one of the oldest and best known Methodist preachers in Indiana, died May 3 at the residence of his son-in-law, Gov. Cumback, in Greensburg, in the 82nd year of his age. He entered the ministry in 1834, and was for many years one of the most efficient and active members of the Southeastern Indiana Conference. His love for the Church, and his energy in working for it, knew no limit, and he continued to work so long as he had strength for service. About two years ago he became paralized, and since then has been an invalid. His wife, a devoted Christian, died about one year ago.
