DIS disease was lung fever terminating in con-
gestlon on the lungs. He was taken away from
his family and friends before the expiration of the
allotted term of human life, to his house and home
not made with hands.
de was one of the early settlers Of Cass County,
and did much toward the development of the fruit
growing capacities of Southern Michigan.
He was also pioneer in opposition to the en-
croachments of Slavery. No conservative spirit
bound him to the errors of the past. 1t was his
aim to be right regardless of Priest or Politician
His Philanthrophy vas of that character which ad-
mits of no doubtful construction He often ex-
pressed regret that circumstances beyond his con-
troll compelled him to use any article which was
the product of STAGE labor. He manifested much
interest in the experiments being made with Cotton
and Sorghum in Northern ATTITUDES, and claimed
that their successful cultivation in the free States
would prove heavy blow to the interests of
Slavery. He was a firm supporter of the Constitu
ton and the Union but his hatred of Slavery was
unbounded. He watched the progress of the pres
ent war with intense interest, induring the hope
that Slavery would meet with punishment proper

He was consistent advocate of the temperance
cause, teaching by example well as by precept;
uprightness and integrity were prominent in his
character. He never would take mean advantage
