He was not a member of any church, but professed faith in Jesus Christ and
had a high regard for all professing Christianity.  He became a Mason in
his early life and was ready to prove himself worthy and well qualified
for all duties placed upon him by the principals involved in the
obligations of the Order.
Our people will miss Uncle Dan, who had made so many friends among us. 
The News-Democrat joins us extending sympathy with the people of this
community to the aged wife and other members of the family.
