o fhim that no fear of personay sacri-
flee ever hindered him In the fulfill
ment of that which he regarded as his

For many years he was active in
temperance work, and was president of
the Loyal Temperance Associa ton, Civ
ing freely of his time and of his means
to the furtherance of the work of this
society.

times, president and treasurer Of the

alton of Stationary Engineers, possess
ing at all times the esteem and regard
of his fellow Officers and members The
resolutions appended hereto. adopted
al the meeting Of the Association, held

this fact
A genial and delightful Christian
gentleman, fond of his home where he
was idolized, his church and his
friends, he passed from this life to his
sure reward. surrounded by those
whom he loved. as tired child falls
