Brethren church, remaining a faithful member until the death covering a period 
of over 40 years. This in itself is a splendid tribute to his memory. To this 
union were born fourteen children, eight of whom survive them, five boys and 
three girls. These with one sister living in Canada, with other near relatives 
and close friends to remain to cherish in their hearts the memory of his

funeral was held from the United Brethren Church October 29th, 1912, Conducted 
by Rev. Davis and Rev. Jarvis. He was laid to rest beside his wife in Lakeside 
Cemetery.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given.
And through the body slumbers on,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
