May 23rd, 1863, and departed this life in Yale, Oklahoma, Oct. 19th 1925, age 62 years 4 months 17 days. He was converted and united with the Methodist Church at the age of 10 years and has been an active and faithful member until death. His parents moved from St Louis, Mo to Chatam, Ill where they lived until he reached manhood. At the age of ten years his mother was left with a family of five children to rear. For two years she cared for this family on crutches: constantly holding before them the ideals of honesty and unselfishness. At the age of 18 years he went from Illinois to Kansas. August 20th 1885 he was married to Mary C. Foglesong and to this union were born seven children, five of whom are still living. When Sac and Fox reservation was opened in Oklahoma, he homesteaded in the northern part of Lincoln County. During the early days of Oklahoma amidst disappointment, homesickness, discouragement and sacrifi! ce a home was built. The many trials were always met with courage, faith, and zeal. His home was always recognized by the circuit riders as a home where:" Remember my latch string always hangs on the outside." The influence which raidiated from this home was always an aroma of beauty to the early settlers. He moved from his homestead to Kendrick, Oklahoma: where he entered business with his brother Fred, where he remained for three and one-half years. For 23 years he has been in business in Kendrick, Cushing, Perkins and Yale. Thousands of people through out this country have purchased merchandise from him and have seen his smiling countenance and courteous treatment. He came to Yale February 1918 and has been active in his commercial pursuit until the last year and half, since then he has been confined to his home the major part of the time. -----------He leaves to mourn his departure, a wife, Mrs C.
