Last August he united in membership with the Congregational church. His affliction, however, prevented his attendance at services. He often regretted he had not, while in health, made better use of his church privileges, saying he looked upon those things now differently than he once did. He said he felt all was well with his soul and was not afraid to meet his creator.
He leaves a widow, two sons, a sister, six brothers and a host of friends to mourn his departing.
