The subject of this notice was born in Tazewell Co, Virginia. He emigrated to this State in the Spring of 1848, being one of the pioneers of Grant County. Here by a consistent Christian life, he won the confidence of all with whom he came in contact. But as the many mourning friends followed his remains to the grave they felt their loss was his gain as he quickly passed away to his home beyond the skies.
