He apparently suffered but little and the transition from life to death was as peaceful as falling to sleep. the funeral was held from Friends church Monday afternoon under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. of which he was an honored member. Re. J.W. Stribing, assisted by Rev. J.J. Ehrstein, conducted the service. Interment was in Earlham cemetery.
