He was a member of the Woodmen of the World lodge, who sent a representative to Omaha to accompany the remains to this place. Members of the lodge of Nehawka, met the train on which the corpse arrived, and took charge of the funeral, which was held at the M.E. church at 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, Rev. J. Guy Munsell performed the obsequies. Interment was made in the Mt. Pleasent Cemetery.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
