So long as he was able he looked after his farms, ever enjoying the out door life. W’hile not an educated man, he had rare command of language, express, ing his convictions forcibly and con. vincingly, yet kindly He was a conscientious clear thinker, holding unservingly to the right as he saw the right.

And at the age of sev. enteen she herself became a teacher, and taught three terms—a work she always enjoyed and she often commented on the fact that she prepared lunches for either pupils or teachers
for more than forty years.
She united with the Christian Church at Long Branch this county in August of 1857, and was baptized by the Reverend Nathan Wright, a pioneer minister of more than local prominence Then later, after mov. ing to Greencastle she had her mem. bership transferred to the Christian church here and ever remained a faith ful member and wag a constant attendant until her health failed her a.
