Deceased was one of the first settlers of this county, there being but few buildings in Nashua at that time. To his family he was a kind and devoted husband and father.

The funeral was held from the home at 1 o’clock Wednesday, Rev. Eckerson officiating, and the remains were interred in Greenwood cemetery.
