bears the distinction Of being the
second oldest engineer in point Of
service with his road, having been

few words and strong convictions.
According to his own statement he
has never taken a drink or used to-
bacco in any form. He not only has
a splendid record for efficiency as
railroad man but, is held in the very
highest esteem by his fellow citizens
in Jacksonville
