In 1897 he was married to Mrs. Martha Witt, to which union there were born two children, Glen and Gladys Ruth, who with their mother survive him. He became a union soldier in 1862, enlisting in,. the 58th Indiana, serving till 'honorably discharged for disabilities, 1864. The deceased was a member of the Methodist church for over fifty years; he was an uncommonly quiet, plain, inoffensive man. His work, whether serving the people in an official way, filling the place of a common soldier, or in his daily tasks, was always honestly and well done. Environment, opportunity and ability considered, as compared with the world, his was surely a successful life—in the main, a life “void of offense toward God and man. ” An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.
