He was converted in the winter of 1895 and since that time has served his Master in many Christian capacities. He first united with the U.B. church and remained a consistent member of same until the winter of 1917 when he moved his membership to Hanley where he and his family united with the M.E. church. During the winter of 1917 he was the means of bringing many souls to Christ, giving his special admonition to the unsaved ones of his Sunday school class. He was a very efficient Sunday school teacher and greatly liked by the members of his class which numbers more than 40.
