He spent twenty years in the employ of the Queal Lumber company, one year for the Thompson Lumber company and seven for the Joyce company. He was still employed by the Joyce company at the time of his death. He took sick a year ago with the flu and was never well after that. He took suddenly worse on the 25tth of November and failed fast until the Lord took him home. Everything was done to relieve his sufferings that loving hands could do, but all in vain. He was a patient sufferer and appreciated everything done for him by his friends and greatly enjoyed the flowers brought to him by them. In his departure the whole community feels that it has lost a worthy citizen and a friend. The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. J. E. Spencer, pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Throckmorton. A male quartet, Drs. Longley and McVay, Mr. Graham and F. W. Newendorp, accompanied at the organ by Mrs. A. H. Johnson, furnished touching music.
