place he remained seven years. While
there he became acquainted with Eliza
Rhoades, whom he married on March
| 2, 1883. To this union were born eight
lchildren, two of whom died in infancy
and six are left to mourn with and
comfort the aged mother in her hour
lof trouble. Those remaining are Mary,
Frank, Harry, Charles, Ellen (now Mrs.
Newell, of Ottumwa,) and Purril. The
love and happiness growing out OF this
union of nearly forty-seven years was
something remarkable. He, came to
Iowa about forty-four years ago, and
was here to help make our glorious
stale what she is today. During the
rebellion three of his brothers took
the field in defense of their country,
he remaining home to care for and sup

and when a young man was a member
of the Baptist church. Politically, he
was a republican and wonderfully in
sympathy with the present admins

iovial, Industrious and friend TO those
in need. 1t might be said of him shat
he was generous to fault" AS a
workman, he was slSillful and inventive
and many beautiful homes over the
country remain as testimonial of
his skill in that direction.
Industrious, patient, cheerful and
ever ready to help others he toiled on
until his last sickness. His sickness
was of a short duration, though at
times he suffered intensely, yet in all
he never complained.
When the summons came he was
ready to go and those watching his life
ebb SO sweetly and quietly could al
most hear the divine words "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant; enter
into the joys of thy Lord
