He was married to Miss Mary Mildred Hayes, of Giddings, Texas in Lee county, on November 22, 1882. He was converted, baptized and united with the Missionary Baptist church at Shady Grove, Texas in Lee county under the preaching of Rev. R. M. Carr in the summer of 1903, and lived a Christian life for a few years, and then, like many others, he went astray, but came back to his Lord in the summer of 1912, under the preaching of Rev. J. W.

Even in the midst of death this conquering soul rejoiced in his hopes of a mansion in the skies and prayed that his family and all might meet him in that heavenly home through the saving grace of Christ.
