They were blessed with ten children-one son and nine daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral except one daughter, Mrs. Louis GOLDMAN of Los Angeles, Cal. He leaves besides his wife and ten children, a father and two brothers to mourn his death.

He died August 22d, 1908, at the age of 51 years, 1 month and 24 days. All though his illness he was a great sufferer, but bore it with a christian patience, and died with bright hopes of a glorious resurrection. He was a kind and loving father, a devoted husband, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. The funeral services were held Tuesday, August 25th, at the Methodist church in Libertyville, conducted by Elder A. Wolf of Udell, assisted by E.G. Rodabaugh. The body was laid to rest in the Fell cemetery.
