He came to Kansas when only a boy and settled at Ozawkie Kansas. On June25, 1875 he was united in marriage to Sarah Katherine Adams. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive him. Mr. Metzgar united with the Seven Day Adventists when he was 21 years of age and remained a member in good standing until the day of his death. Mr. Metzgar came to Willard several years ago where he was in the employ of the Rock Island as pumpman. He also worked for some time at blacksmithing. Later he settled on a farm and remained there until last fall when he gave it up on account of his health and moved back to Willard. Mr. Metzgar was very kind to his family and he had the universal respect of the entire neighborhood. Although his health had been poor he had never been sick enough to be down and continued to be a hardworker. He had often expressed the wish that when he should die it would be quickly but his friends were unprepared for the sudden manner in which he died. He had been out to his son’s farm after a load of hay accompanied by his grandson, and on their way he passed away. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, two sons, Manifold and; Charles Metzgar and three daughters; Mrs. Emma Patterson, Mrs. Nellie Smoot and Miss Eva May Metzgar, all of Willard and six grandchildren. Also two sisters, Mrs. Marguerite Dupree of Stillwater, Okla., Mrs. S. D. Bigham, of Topeka and three brothers, G.W., E. D. and F. P. Metzgar, of Ozawkie, Kansas. Funeral services were hold at the Willard church at 1 o’clock Monday April 20, conducted by Rev. C.E. Roberts of Dyver and the remains taken to Dover for interment. The family have the sympathy of the entire community.
