He was always a great lover of music and his home was always the center of music and song. He was one of the first members of the mannerchor in the early days when Mr. Luetchge was the director and was a member of the village band at that time. His sons followed in the footsteps of their father in music and many a delightful times were spent singing and playing on their instruments.
