He was married Dec. 5, 1888 to Gertie Partridge, and for the past six years they have lived in Albany. 5 1/2 years ago he entered the employ of Messrs. Van Patten and Turner, in which he continued until his death. About 6 years ago, together with his wife, he united with the Baptist Church in Albany, and the walk was that of a quiet, consistent Christina. He was faithful in all the relations of life and will be missed not only by his employees and those who had dealings with him in the way of business, but by the large circle of friends and relatives, and most of all by his devoted wife, who by his death is indeed bereaved. The most of his life was lived with the knowledge that that fell disease, consumption, had marked him for its own. With characteristic energy he fought it off as long as he was able, but finally took to his bed, just four weeks before the day of his burial. All was done for him that love or care or thoughtfulness could suggest, but it was all in vain, and on the morning of Feb. 12, 1896, he peacefully entered into rest. His mother was permitted to assist in ministering to his wants, coming from her distant western home for that purpose. A large throng attended the funeral services, after which his body was laid in our beautiful cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.
