He was converted and joined the Baptist church at the age of seventeen and all during 67 years of Christian profession he lived a life of marked faithfulness.
His children can not remember that he ever ate a meal at his own table without giving thanks to God. He was never too busy when living on the farm to attend his church meetings. Afer coming to Troy, his sight being bad, he would attend church, getting some one to lead him, so faithful was he.
He quietly passed away Tuesday morning January 18, 1909.
