He united with the Baptist Church at Bonaparte, early in life and remained a consistent member until he removed to Merritt, where there being no Baptist organization he identified himself with that of Methodist Church of that place and was a faithful member until his death.

The relatives wish to express their heart felt thanks for the many kindnesses shown them in the home of their sorrow and bereavement by Miss Mattie Hardwick, Geo.
