Early in life he united with the Meth
odist Episcopal church of Oakland and
has since been prominently connected
with that religious organization in var
ious official capacities. He took an
especial interest in the Sunday school,
of which he was member from boy
hood. and in which he has served in an
official capacity since 1871, the last

cording secretary. The records of the
school, since its organization in 1929,
have been carefully compiled by him in
one volume, and from that date until
the present the record is complete, con-
tanning notes of more than ordinary
historical interest pertaining to Local
events. In politics he was a life long
Republican and served the county as
Register of Wills for more than twelve
years, serving one term also as County
Treasurer and several terms thereafter
as Assistant Treasurer. AS a public
official he was honest, efficient and
faithful to every trust committed to
his care.
This community will miss him in more

respect and friendship of all with whom
he came in contact, his quiet, unas-
Stunning manner endearing him to all
alike and gaining for him friends with

out of his way to do favor, be it great
or small. His church will miss his con-

to whom he was good, kind Christian

to them the sympathy of the community
goes out in this hour of affection, but
they have the consolation of feeling
that, while everything possible for, his
