to his bereaved family. The
Stewart Tribune in speaking of
him says:
During the nearly thirty years resi-.

almost every position of public trust
in the gift OF the people of the village.
He was treasurer of the village for q
number of years, had served on the
council, and was president of the
council from 1902 to 1904. For nine
teen years he was clerk OF the local
school board, voluntarily retiring in

the splendid growth and excellent
reputation of the Stewart schools.
