He removed to Marion Marion county, Iowa in the spring of 1876 and was married to Miss Emily Elwood August 10, 1879. They came to Antelope county, Neb. in September 1884 and in the spring of 1886 removed to Custer county, Neb., where they resided until October 1890, removing again to Antelope, settling on a farm five miles southwest of town, where he resided up to his death. In the year of 1889, while attending a series of meetings conducted by the writer, he was converted and became a devoted and committed Christian and was baptized onto Christ on the 18th day of August of the same year. A wife, two daughters and three sons are left to mourn the loss of a loving companion and father. One son, 11 months old, greeted the father onto the realm of bliss. The deceased has been a patient and uncomplaining sufferer for more than twelve years, but few except the family knew of his sufferings until about two weeks prior to his death, when his illness became so severe that he was confined to his home and the best comfort that could be procured was offered until death claimed the victim Sunday morning at 7:00 o'clock and the spirits took the flight to dwell with God, who gave it. The deceased was a loyal member of the A.O.U.W. lodge of Creighton, the members of which gave evidence of their love and appreciation by the many expressions and tokens of respect and attending the funeral in a body. Funeral services were held Wednesday, October 31 at 2 o'clock from the M.E. church by Rev. S.A. Kopp of Magnet, Neb., assisted by the pastor, Rev. E.C. Thorp. Card of Thanks We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors, who so kindly assisted us during our sad affliction and bereavement. Mrs. G.W.
