He passed away Friday, August 20, 1926 at his home on South Main street, after an illness of twenty years, caused by paralysis. Through all the years of suffering his patient, loving wife was his faithful nurse, and was always ready to minister to his every need and to grant him his slightest wish.
He had been a member of M.W.A. lodge for many years, but because of poor health he was unable to attend meetings.
