He came to DeKalb Illinois where he joined in wedlock with Elizabeth Baker in December, 1868. They soon came west and settled on a claim near Lincoln, where they remained until March 1884, when they came to Friend. His life in Friend is well known and those who knew him best knew that his was a life of unselfishness, pure thoughts, and right actions throughout. He and his wife moved to Lincoln from Friend a little over a year ago and lived there until he departed this life January 9, 1915. He was a member of the Methodist Church here until he moved to Lincoln where he united with the Grace M.E. Church, where his name is still on the roll. He leaves behind a wife, two daughters, two sons, two grandsons (who have made their home with him the last few years) also two brothers and one sister. Two daughters and one son have preceded him to the life beyond. His life was full of suffering the last few days, but he expressed himself as ready to go, and had only joy in the thought of meeting his savior. The funeral services were held on Sunday in Lincoln conducted by his pastor, the Rev. J. F. Boeye and on Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church here, conducted by the Rev. H. C. Seidel assisted by the Rev. E. M. Owings.
