At the age of 23 years he united with the Baptist Church at Russell, Iowa, and was ever faithful and steadfast in his belief of a higher and better life, the doctrine of which he at various times proclaimed from the pulpit. He was married to ARMINTA ROWLAND June 12, 1889. To them were born two children, PETRINE, aged 10 years and BETHEL, aged 7 years. Eight years ago last April he removed his family to Boulder where for seven years and until the failure of his health, he edited the "Rocky Mountain Baptist", a paper devoted to the interests of the Baptist Church and the Christian cause. A wife, two children, an aged father, a sister and two brothers are left to mourn the loss of a faithful husband, a kind and loving father and a devoted son and brother." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 26, 2004 [email protected]
