When 18 years of age he moved to Williamsburg, Ohio. Here he was united in marriage to Cannie Evans, with whom he shared his joys and sorrows alike for the remainder of his life. to this union four children were born, two daughters and two sons. Soon after his marriage, Mr. Honaker moved with his family to Warren County, Ohio, where he has since resided. Early in his life he united with the Methodist Church, and the inspiration and influence which he received from this means of Grace was reflected in his character throughout his life. For the past five years he had been in failing health, but previous to that time he had been associated with the Western and Southern Life Insurance Company. In this capacity he was respected by all who knew him as a man of utmost integrity and responsibility. Mr. Honaker was a loving, kind and indulgent husband and father. He lived a virtuous life, and his life speaks for itself a loftier eulogy than our words can express. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, who hold many beautiful memories of him, but they will find comfort in the realization that he has gone to claim the rewards that await every good and true servant. He leaves his faithful wife, Cannie; four children, James Virginia, John, Jr., and Mrs. Ruth Carter; three sisters, Miss Florence Honaker of Cincinnati; Mrs. J. H. Berry, of Cabool, Mo., and Mrs. Lee Wilkerson, of Browning, Mo., and one grandchild. They, together with a host of relatives and friends, deeply mourn his departure.
