 On the morning of his death he was working in hIs office as usual, and about 10 o'clock in the forenoon had closed his off ee and walked ont towards the southern edge of town, when in fit of coughing, he burst blood vessel and died in less than ten minutes not being able to reach the house of brother-in-law, but was caught and carried in upon the arms of his friends as he faintel from loss of blood at the gateway.
 He was buried with Masonic honors in the grave yard attached to the Presbyterian church in Caroline township.
 In every position of life it was his fortune to secure the confidence of those with whom he was connected, and the respect and esteem of all
