At the age of 24, he united with the Baptist church and lived a conscientious Christian life to his death, and was regarded by all who knew him as an excellent neighbor. He was married to the wife who survives him 47 years ago last February and they have lived a quiet farm life ever since. This sad bereavement will make a great change in the affected widows' life.
