He was greatly loved by the congregation there, but poor health (perhaps from his war wounds) forced him to demit from the ministry and return to Pulaski, Indiana in 1876. (The content of the preceding paragraph was taken from the History of the Presbyterian Church in Iowa 1837-1900 by Rev. Dr. Joseph W. Hubbard, page 172.)
