His unselfish thoughts and deeds testified his deep capacity for friendship. He was a friend to everybody - a kind loving husband and father, and no mother-in-law ever had a kinder, more thoughtful son. Almost his last words were words of affection for his wife and three small grandchildren. On July 6, 1882, he was united in marriage to Katherine Burress, the daughter of J. M. and Mallie Burress.
