he became ill, but did not permanently
take to his bed until Sunday afternoon.
he grew worse Sunday night and grad.
ually declined until o'clock the fol.
lowing evening, March 80, 1897, when
he sweetly fell asleep. Aged S6 years
and months.
All these years were spent in this
vicinity, as he never lived more than
three miles from the place of his birth.
His life was full of activity. With his
own hands and means he helped to re.
move the forests, erect the houses, con.
struct the roads, build the school houses
and churches and make other necessary
improvements for the benefit of his
contemporaries, and US who survive
him.
During the years of his vigorous man.
hood he was active and successful in
business, but did not allow the world to
absorb all his interests. He found time
for church going, and gave of his means
for the spread of the gospel, and, un.
like many worldly men, he grew more
religiously inclined with advancing age,
and in the month of March, 1889, he
made public profession of religion and
united with M. E. church and remained
worthy member until called to his re.
ward. He was good citizen. kind and
obliging as a neighbor, and true and
constant in his friendships, and will live
in the hearts and memory OF his friends.

united in marriage with Miss Catharine
Karnes, who shared with him in life's
joys and sorrows for 46 years, when che
passed to the great beyond, and left him
to finish life's journey alone. To them
