He was the only son in a family of five and when he was less that two years old he with his parents moved to Niagara county, N.Y., where he resided until 1859 when they came to Michigan, locating in Berlin township, Ionia county. December 10, 1863, he was united in marriage to Miss Betsy Ann Sherwood also of Berlin who died on Dec. 25, 1903. Four children were born to this union, one son dying in infancy. Two sons, Robert S. and William, both of Orleans township, with a daughter, Mrs. Alva Comstock of Bushnell, Montcalm county, survive him.

In the spring of 1866 after having resided in Berlin for 26 years he moved to Bushnell, Montcalm county and six years later to Orleans where he died. In early life he gave his heart to God and continued to live in the faith of Christ until he was summoned to his home in Heaven.

We sorrow but not as for those who have no hope.
