He was united in marriage to Miss Rachel Hobson, of Salem, Iowa, July 9, 1879. He was converted in early manhood and joined the Baptist Church. After his marriage he attended the Quaker Church with wife for some years. He moved to Tyler in the latter part of 1897, and became a faithful attendant upon the services of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Liberty Hill, two miles east of Tyler. He seemed to enjoy the services of the Church very much. Some of his children were converted and joined the Church at our revival meeting at Liberty Hill last summer, which seemed to afford him great joy. He seemed to be conscious that his end was drawing near some weeks before it came, and asked his family not to be troubled about him. A few days before his departure, which occurred September 26, 1898, in family prayer he earnestly committed his wife and seven children to the care of a kind providence. M. I. BROWN.
