He was the father of seven children, four sons and one daughter still living to mourn his loss.
At the time of his death he was 59 years, 5 months and 19 days old.
The funeral, which took place on Monday afternoon, at 3 o?clock, was largely attended, and was under the direction of the Order of Chosen Friends, of which he was an honored and beloved member.
At the Residence Rev. S. L. Sanford read several passages from the bible and offered up a prayer, and at the grave P. K. Faulds and Mrs. S. M.
