--------------------
Obituary excerpt, Grand Junction News, July 14, 1894:
Some thirty years ago he became a Christian, but never united with any church till the Congregational church of this place was organized in the winter of 1890, when he united for the first time on confession of faith.

For years he had been active in church work, especially in attention to financial matters, having held in different churches, positions of trustee, treasurer and building committee. When financially able he did a great deal both for churches and for the poor and destitute. He was always firm in his convictions and independent in doing what he conscientiously believed to be right.

He was one of three officers in his brigade (during the Civil War) who never tasted a drop of intoxicating liquor while in the army, and in all his life he was a man of strictly temperate habits...
