He taught the Adult Class for 35 years, was Superintendent of the Sunday School for several years, and fulfilled the pulpit at times in the absence of the minister. His life was devoted to his church, friends and loved ones. He was always ready to lend a helping hand. His health began to fail more and for the past ten weeks he was taken care of by his wife and daughter Joyce. In spite of all his pain he would try to have a smile. Services were held at the Evangelical United Brethren Church north east of Beresford, S.D., Thursday, August 19th, with Rev. Ralph Burdette of Akron and Rev. Walter Nelson of Beresford officiating. Interment was at the Zion Cemetery. Akron Register Tribune Thursday, August 26, 1971 Akron, Iowa
