He was brought up in a Chrisitan home and united with the Zion Lutheran church March 3, 1895, under the pastorate of Rev. M.L.

For several years he has been associated with the Farmers and Traders Savings bank of Douds as a director, and for the past three years as vice president which position he filled faithfully and conscientiously. He will be greatly missed by his fellow associates.
