His boyhood was spent on an Illinois farm. Although his mother passed on to her heavenly home when he was a small babe, only three weeks old, he was fortunate in receiving welcomeinto the home of a kind and tender-hearted neighbor woman, who cared for him almost five years, after which a devoted step-mother brought him back to his father's home, where he grew to manhood. In 1879 he moved to Rose Hill. He was married to Martha Elizabeth Davis, February 22, 1887. Theirs has been an unusually happy and understanding union. They have lived, most of the time in the community but have made journeys of short duration to California and Indiana. Two dear sons, Roy Owen and Homer Austin came to bless their bhome, but passed away in infancy. After less than one day's illness the father went to join them on the evening of July 10, 1933, aged 69 years, four months and 18 days. He had borne patiently, years of failing health. His was a quiet, but useful life. His influence has always been strongly for all right causes. He was a birth-right member of the Friends church. He is survived by his loving wife, two brothers, A. L., of Columbus, M.D. of Kendall; and four half-brothers, Sam of Long Beach, California; Charley of Winton, California; Otis of Merced., California; and two half-sisters, Mrs. Flora Baldwin, Lancaster, Ohio and Samantha J. Osborn, Galena; besides a host of relatives and friends who are left to mourn their loss.
