He was one of the pioneer settlers of the Warwick River community, having moved there with his family in 1898. In 1906 he was ordained to the office of deacon and in this capacity faithfully served the growing church until July, 1946, when he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which rendered him bedfast. He had also served as church chorister for many years and took delight in singing. During his long illness he remained mentally keen and greatly appreciated visits and tokens of esteem from friends and neighbors. His first wife (Fannie Coffman) passed away in 1904. His second wife (Samantha Showalter) passed away in 1944.
