He was of that quiet, though firm type, whose good influence will live after he has passed away. Many tears of genuine sorrow were shed when his body was laid to rest in the family burying ground at his home Tuesday Nov 21st. A large company of genuine sympathizers attended his funeral. Truly a good man, citizen, and neighbor has passed to his reward. Peace to his sacred ashes.
