He was a member of the New Harmony Methodist Church and was always active in church work. He had always been a farmer and orchardist and was an ardent Democrat all his life.
Survivors include the daughter with whom he lived, Mrs. Daisy Brown, one son Charles Greenwood of Walterboro, South Carolina, thirteen grandchildren, twenty-one great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren.
Last rites will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the Methodist Church at Banta and interment will be in the Odd Fellows Cemetery near there.
Due to the illness of his daughter, the body will lie in state at the Harvey Funeral Home in Mooresville until 1:00 o'clock Saturday and will then be taken to the church at Banta.
