He departed this life on the evening of the 21st of November 1887. His exact age being 68 years, 8 months and 17 days. After two weeks of painful suffering, which this noble, true and good man bore with patience and fortitude, his life went out with the setting of the sun. Just one week before his death he embraced the religion of Jesus Christ, and was admitted into the Church by Rev. G. L. HEWITT and from that day till his death his utterances were praised to God of the brightest kind. One more precious soul has entered in through the beautiful gates to join the minstrel of Heaven and receive the coronation of the pure, the true, and the good into the beautiful home above our departed friend entered, and is now singing the song of redemption. While he is now hidden from our view by the tomb’s dark veil, there is a comfort to the grieving and bereaved hearts that there is one more added to the angels number and soon the veil will be rent, and the one who has only gone before will be waiting and watching at the pearly gate to greet their happy entrance there.
