always able to manage his farm, which is one of the largest stock and grain  
farms in the county.  he took an enthusiastic interest in the affairs of the  
community even when he was unable to participate actively in them.  His greatest  
pleasure, which came from the many visits paid him by relatives and friends, has  
proven the greatest consolation to his bereaved family.
