He was united in holy matrimony to Nola Ann Corum, January 20, 1898. To this union were born four children, one son having died in infancy.
His wife, Nola; two daughters, Mrs. Allie Bailey, of Davenport, and Mrs. Grace Major, of Mascot, Tennessee; one son, Edgar, of Deshler; three granddaughters, five grandsons, three sisters, four brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends survive.
Since early manhood he was a faithful and devoted member of Roseberry Baptist church. He was a kind and loving husband and father whose untimely passing is deeply mourned.
On April 12, 1935, he and his wife arrived in Nebraska for a visit with their son and daughter.
He enjoyed the best of health until the morning of his death when he was suddenly stricken ill, only to suffer a few hours until his soul was released to its Maker.
Rev. L. C. Childs, of Corryton, Tennessee, will conduct funeral services from the Roseberry Baptist Church, with burial in the cemetery nearby.
Weep not that his toils are over,
Weep not that his race is won,
God grant that we may rest as calmly,
When our work like his is done.
Till then we would yield with gladness,
Our treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved one sleep.
