Funeral services were held at his home through the Christian Church of
Stratford, Oklahoma, and by his own request which was most expressive and
sad was that his body be hauled by his own spotted horses, which he was so
fond and attached to and the horses seemed to know they were taking their
faithful master away by their actions.  He was a most devoted husband and
father and always willing to take his childrens burdens in his own hands
to make it easier for them.  He did not want anyone to worry about him,
saying to the end he was alright.
