His brother was almost his constant nurse. He was a constant sufferer from childhood, his disease being contracted by the measles settling on his lungs when a little boy. On the 1st day of July, 1877, he was married to Sarah E. Moor, who died two years ago. He leaves 3 children, 5 sisters, 2 brothers, his mother, and a host of friends to mourn his loss; he was always kind and charitable, always ready to help the needy; he made no religious profession, but he cherished in his heart a respect for christian work. A large number of relatives and friends followed the remains to its last resting place in the Canby cemetery, near Mt Hood. THE CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Wed, Mar 7, 1888, page 7
