He was united in marriage to Mollie Trimble, 56 years ago, having married October 14, 1875, at Centerville, Mo. To this union were born four children, two sons and two daughters, one son, Ira Lee, preceding him in death thirty years; this leaves to mourn his death a devoted wife, Mrs. Mollie Wilson, three children, Mrs. Ora Dawsey and Jasper D.

He was a kind and affectional husband and father, always devoted to home and family and his loss will be sincerely felt by all who loved and knew him.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear,
sincere and true in heart and mind; what a beautiful memory he left behind.
