To them one child was born, who with the mother also preceded the father in death. His third marriage was to Kitty Burkhart, and he is survived by this wife and four step-children: Willis of LaHarpe, Ill., Milton of Edina, Mo., and Mrs. Effa Ewing and Miss Lela at home; also one sister and three brothers: Mrs. Ed Seeger of Knox City, Mo.; Elijah of Rutledge, Mo.; Emmit of Watts, Calif. and Samuel of Corvallis, Mont.

Dearest father thou hast left us, and our loss we deeply feel, but 'twas God who has called thee from us, who can all our sorrows heal.
