He was married to Miss___Conley, March 13, 1855. For forty years they plodded the path of life together. To them were born eleven children, one having preceded him to the grave. A wife, eight sons, and two daughters survive him.
He was regarded by all as a conscientious, good man. He was fond of doing good--a neighbor in the true sense of the word. He obeyed the gospel Sept. 1, 1885, and all this time he was faithful, being always present at Lord's-day worship and the weekly prayer meeting. He gave liberally to the support of Christ's cause.
He was taken sick at Brother T. A. Smith's meeting, at Antioch, and for ten days suffered intensely. Though suffering, he talked much about the meeting, was so anxious for souls to obey the gospel, and requested that Brother Smith and the writer hold prayers at his house for the good of his family and neighbors. When told by his physician that it was not best for him, he replied that he was willing to suffer that good might come to others. He told all that came that he was ready to go.
Three days before his death he called his wife and children around him, and told them to be good to their neighbors, visit the sick, and meet him in heaven, and that the writer and Brother Smith should conduct the funeral at the church, which was done amidst a large and weeping audience.
