He was taken ill 9 Mar 1892 with pneumonia and died 22 mar 1892. He was surrounded by his wife and affectionate children, feeling that life's work was done, he "wrapped the drapery of his couch around him and lay down to pleasant dreams," meeting the destroyer with that fortitude which had characterized him in all the trials coming to him in the course of his active life.
He will ever be remembered with affection, not only by his immdediate friends, but by all who knew him. His life was a success, not only finacially, but the world is a better for his having lived.
