Two children being born to this union, Zella and a daughter who died in infancy. This wife preceded him to the grave. Later he was married to Ida NULL. To this union were born three sons, John Troy, and two sons who died in infancy. He united with the church at Bethel about thirty-five years ago and from that time did his utmost to do what was right. He was a loving husband and father , although he stayed with us many years it pained our hearts to part with him. He was always so kind and affectionate to everyone, having a smile for whomsoever he met, and always some encouraging words. He was especially kind to children in whom he took a great interest. We well know he can never come back to us but we are greatly consoled in that some day we can go to him, and surely it is our aim to do so. He leaves a wife, three children, John Troy, Mrs. Steve BLAKER and Mrs. Harley MAY, a mother, three sisters, four brothers and sixteen grandchildren, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. He will sadly missed by the people of this community and not only this, for he was known far and wide. The funeral was held Tuesday, July 3, at Tulip church by Rev. DUSTIN and Mrs. KOMP, after which the remains were laid to rest in Tulip Cemetery. — CARD OF THANKS We extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends for their kindness shown us during the sickness and death of our beloved husband and father, John M.
