Deputy G. W. P. for Meigs County……………
He was also a member of Mineral Lodge No. 242, I.O.O.F., and a past officer 
of that order.  Among his brother Odd Fellows his moral worth was well known 
and highly appreciated.  For five or six years past his feeble health prevented 
his constant attendance at the meetings of the Division and Lodge, but his 
heart was in the work of ameliorating the condition of mankind by disseminating 
the principles of Temperance and brotherly love, and nothing but illness 
prevented his active participation in the labors of his brethren.
