He was united with the Presbyterian church at Princeville during the pastorate of Rev. Taylor, and was a steadfast member ever since.
By his death Monica loses its oldest resident, as his was the first building erected in the present village, where he had ever since resided. He leaves a wife and the children who will ever miss his kindly interest and familiar footstep.

Among the Masons who attended the funeral from here were, A.H. Sloan, Harry Watkins of Washington, DC, H.J. Cheesman, James Carman, Lester Lamery of Edelstein, J.H. Weidner, F.W. Cutler, W.M. Hoag, E.A. Erikson, E.D. Minkler and Lester Stisser. Others from here were present to witness the ceremony at the grave.
