He was a sincere Christian, being a devout member of SS Philip and James Catholic church, a devoted husband and father, a good neighbor, an honest and law abiding citizen who lived up to every obligation between man and man. He was best known to the citizens of Meyersdale, for the last three years being mail carrier on Rural Route No. 8, and was prompt and faithful in his duties, and was respected both by the employees in the postoffice and the patrons on the Route for his accommodating disposition at all times.
