He was a member of the Baptist Church for many years; was buried at St. Joseph, Michigan, beside his wife Lucinda. Though a man of great activity and viral force, he was of very delicate physical organization, and, owing to overtaxing his strength in his younger days, spent the last thirty-five years of his life in broken health. He was very social and pleasing in his intercourse with the world, and most kind and affectionate in his family relations, and, while not of specially pious character, was very conscientious, honorable, and charitable. Lucinda was a member of the Baptist Church, a women of great piety, sound judgement and force of character, which she devoted to the education and government of her family. They lie buried side by side after a married life of fifty-seven years. She died at Millburg, Michigan, 14 May, 1865."
