He had been a prominent Sunday school worker all his life, and since leaving Wichita has been a Sunday School missionary in the mountains of West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. Later his headquarters were established at Chicago and he was obliged to do much traveling work. At the time of his death he and Dr. Ferguson, of Cedar Rapids, Ia., were making a tour of Kansas.
