G.A.R., of which deceased was a member, turned out about 30 strong, under 
Commander J. J. Phelps, furnishing bearers and acting as escort for the remains 
from the late residence to the church. A large number of citizens, mostly 
residents of the Fourth ward, were at the church.  The M.E. church choir 
furnished the music. Rev. Mr. Lennox read the twelfth of Romans, a favorite 
chapter of the deceased, and his remarks were very appropriate and touching.

four children to mourn his loss. He was a good husband and a kind father, 
honest and upright in all of his dealings with his fellow companions. He was a 
true and faithful soldier of the union, and defended his country and flag in 
the hour of peril. He was three years and one month in the service having 
enlisted in August, 1861, in the 11th Michigan infantry. He was at the siege at 
Atlanta and was wounded in September, 1864. He was in long and forced marches,

to join the Grand Army above, there to sing praises with his comrades.
