About two and one-half years ago he underwent a very serious operation, but fully recovered and enjoyed fairly good health until the last six months of his life. He and his wife spent the past few winters in Florida, enjoying the warm sunshine which was beneficial to his health. They returned home earlier than they had planned because of his fast-failing health. On March 8 he bade his friends good-bye, saying he never expected to come back to Florida. Just five weeks after arriving home he peacefully passed away.

To this union three sons and four daughters were born. Two daughters preceded him.
