He was of a family of eight children, two girls and six boys, all of whom have preceded him in death except Mrs. Susie Redd, of Richmond, Mo.
He was married to Sophia Curry, Nov. 19, 1872, who passed away November 20, 1918. To them were born ten children, five dying in infancy and Mrs. Eva Gordon on Sept. 14, 1911. Surviving are: Mrs. B.

He became a member of the Conway Masonic Lodge while a young man and was awarded a life membership in 1933, having been a Mason for fifty years.
His last active work was buying stock. He kept up a home in Conway until age made that impractical. The last few months of his life he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. B.[erton] E.[arl] Powell [Lillie].
