On November 16, 1872, he was made a Mason at the Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 27, A. F. and A. M. Farmington, Iowa. The funeral was held last Wednesday from the home. The Masonic order, under whose auspices the funeral was conducted, met at the hall at the appointed time and marched to the home where the dead friendly laid, awaiting the last sad offices which this company of allied friends were about to confer. Arriving at the home, opened ranks were ordered and the officers entered the death chamber, followed by the order.

On arriving at the cemetery the body was lowered to its last resting place with impressive ceremony. Biography contributed by Jane Cockayne Weaver
