The deceased was born in Watertown, Conn.,,
IN 1901, where he lived most of his time until 1885,
when he removed to Ohio and purchased farm
where he lived until his death. He was a man Of
natural musical talent; being possessed of heavy
tenor voice, he made himself perfect master Of
music, spending most of his winters from the age
of21, upwards of 40 years, in teaching vocal mu-
sic. Soon after his removal to Ohio, he Joined
himself to the Methodist church, in which he was
jealous worker, sparing no pains in season or
out Of season to promote the cause Of Christ At
the age Of60, he was seized with scistie rheuma-
matism Of the hip, which so disabled him that he
was obliged to give uplabor. His daughter-his
only remaining child-came to live with him, he
having lost his only son in the late war. He spent
much of his time in reading and conversing with
friends and neighbors, and being of a kind and
genial temperament, he was beloved by all who
knew him. For the last two years his infrmities
have increased so much that he was mostly con-
fined to his house, ha wing to use two crutches to
get about. The present winter he took severe
cold, which brought on a raeking cough, which
ended III hemorrhage of the lungs and terminated
his life. During his infrm years he bore all his
Affections with true Christian fortitude. He was
a sincere and warm-hearted Christian. Thus liv-
ed and died our beloved brother, leaving his be-
loved wife to survive him for a little while.
Then peaceful be thy rest, dear brother,
Until Christ descends to wake the dead;
Then tune the voice anew
And chant Gods praise through endless days,
Before the throne of God.
