He was a member of the Lutheran

forty years was it's faithful janitor. as
his father before him. During all
these years of service he received
nothing by way OF compensation save
present which the congregation oc-

occasion, in any way, to doubt the

For a number of years he was the

the county and was sent for in time of
death from far and near. In earlier

to put out his work at the lowest pos

He was a Christian man i'm the

conducted from his church by one of
his former pastors, Rev. W. II. Berry,
OF Morgantown, an intimate friend. in
the presence of a large concourse of
relatives and friends who had come
together to pay this late rite of the
