He grew to young manhood in the vicinity of his birth, attending the public schools until he completed the work as then given. After finishing the schools he taught for a time; later he clerked in a store in Packwood and also in Fairfield, One year ago he went on the road as a traveling salesmen. He spent the winter in Houston, Texas, in the hope of improving his health which had begun to decline from lung trouble. The winter over, he came to St. Louis March 1 and from there he went to Kansas City. He returned home April 15. Having been frail all his life, the disease assumed a more serious form. Rapidly developing, it became a very serious illness about four weeks ago. After a brave fight for life, assisted by the loving care of the devoted parents, coupled with all that medical skill could do for him, the dread disease claimed the victory Thursday evening, August 4 at 11 o'clock. He died having won the respect of all for his manliness and integrity. He was unusually devoted to his parents and in their great affliction they have the sweet memory of a kind, affectionate and dutiful son. The funeral services were conducted at the residence of his parents Saturday afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. Thos. Osborn of the M. E. church. The body was laid to rest in the city cemetery.
