He was converted about thirty-five years ago and united with the Evangelical church, later transferring his membership to the M.E. church. During his last years he worshipped with the Assembly of God church at Melcher. The choir, composed of Sampson Miller, Mrs. Villa Hixenbaugh, Mrs. Ruby Ferber, Miss Maude Long and Mrs. Violet Calhoun, very appropriately sang, "There'll Be No Dark Valley", "Rock of Ages" and "Beautiful River".
