For many years he was an honored and influential citizen of this township, and continued to reside here until after the death of his wife, which occurred in June, 1882. Since then he has been living at and near Brainerd, Minn. He owned a large tract of land at Gull Lake, a summer resort near Brainerd. For two months past he had been in poor health, and April 25th he went to a hospital at Brainerd, where he remained until his death last Monday evening. The doctors pronounced his disease a cancerous condition of the stomach, complicated with disease of the kidneys. His remains were brought here yesterday morning for burial, accompanied by his son, Charles, and daughter, Mrs. Bertha Lynn. His funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and by his request he was given a Masonic burial. His remains were laid to rest beside his wife in the Lisbon Cemetery.
