He was patient throughout his invalid days which were about three years. He was 83 years, 8 months and 12 days old. He died at 11:25 o'clock p.m. The end was peaceful as was his life. He was a faithful and loving husband and father, loved by all who knew him. Gone but not forgotten—at rest with God and the angels.
Impressive funeral services were conducted from the Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. W.S. Birge, Friday afternoon, after which the body was laid to rest in the Iberia Cemetery.
