He was an active and busy man, for his was a long and well-rounded life.

And their hearts go out in hope that the lips that spoke to them so wisely can not be forever silenced. He believed in God, in life and love's eternal triumph. He was long a faithful member of the Methodist church of which Rev. W. W. Rothrock is pastor, and who conducted the funeral services at the home on Tuesday, when an appropriate sermon was preached. The flag that he had helped defend was draped across the top of his casket. Interment was made in the Allen's Hill cemetery beside his wife. His children were all in attendance at the funeral.
