He was active in church circles in Vicksburg. His principal hobby was fishing and for several seasons he landed the largest bass in Kalamazoo County. Chief Deputy Glenn K. Hammel and Deputy Charles Conner investigated the death. Judge David Morris acted as corner in the absence the two county coroners. The body was removed to the Rupert Funeral Home at Vicksburg.
