When a mere boy he enlisted in the Union Army, Co. I, 13th Kentucky Cavalry, and served to the close of the war. He moved to Illinois soon after the war and in 1870 was married to Carrie Brown, who still survives him. To this union were born four sons, all of whom were present at the time of his death. In 1873 he moved to Kansas and homesteaded in Ottawa county and since then has been a resident of Ottawa and Dickinson counties. He was converted and joined the Methodist church, in Illinois, and for nearly forty years has lived a devoted christian life. During the past year he was unable to lie down and so was compelled to sit in his chair night and day. Throughout the course of his illness, over two years, he was never known to murmur. His mind was clear and strong up to the monent of departure and he expressed his readiness and willingness to go. Just at twelve o'clock he closed his eyes to earthly scenes and his pure spirit departed to join the great throng of the redeemed who have come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. The funeral was held at the Willowdale M. E. church, Tuesday, Sept. 11, at two o'clock, Rev. Moore officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Prairie Mound cemetery at Solomon. Mrs E. E.
