He was always ready to do his past in any good cause in his church and community. He contributed largely for the rebuilding of Liberty Hill Church and was not satisfied until it was completed. He was known as the main pillow of his church and the weather was never too bad to keep him from all services. In the last few years of his life he was deprived of the privilege of going to church but every time he passed Liberty Hill a bright and happy expression would beam on his face and he recognized it as a "Sacred Place" dear to his heart. He would wave his hand and want to stop. There are many things he did that will live on and be remembered and cherished by those who knew him and loved him.
