success.
He was married in 1853 to Elizabeth Bridges, daughter of Moses T. Bridges. His companion prece ded him to the better world, on August 26, 1878. He was again married on tho 25th of February, 1880, to Mrs. S. A. Kendall. The di-easc which caused his death attacked him on the night of the 24th of November. During the days that followed ho spoke calmly of his approaching death, always showing the utmost confidence in Christ as his Saviour.
