When a young man he united with the Early Chapel Church of Christ, Everet, known to his friends as "Hank" was especially interested in young people and had been a helpful influence in the lives of dozens of Dexter boys whom he was always ready to counsel and aid.

The funeral service was held from his home and the Dexter Methodist church, Saturday, November 15th with the pastor of the church in charge assisted by the Rev. J. Neal Clemmer, a former pastor. Mrs. Lewis Webb rendered two solos: Rock of Ages and In the Garden. The pall bearers were: Mr. John Hadley, Mr. Franz Lenocker, Mr. Glenn Short, Mr. Bruce Godby and Mr. Russell Horn. That which was mortal was laid to rest at the Penn Center cemetery. May our friend and neighbor rest in peace.
