In early life he united with the Congregational church, but finding no church of that denomination in his home community, he affiliated with the Methodist church. In early life he was also active in the order of Knights of Pythias at Chamberlain, S. D.
He was a man of companionable nature and had a host of friends who will miss him. His widow has the sympathy of many friends in her sorrow.
