However, ill-health prevented him from active duty for the last four years. Most of his preaching was done in the states of Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Kansas. One of the last churches for which he labored was the one at Wellington, Kan. He discipled many communities and saw many baptized into Christ during his lifework. He did some work at Freed-Hardeman College, Henderson, Tenn., and taught in the Wichita Bible School with Brother Moore. In California his preaching was confined mainly with two congregations Southside, in Santa Ana, and Twelfth and Alamitos, in Long Beach. During the last four years he filled the pulpit on various occasions for the East Long Beach congregation as his health would permit. At one of the last services he was able to attend prior to his last attack he spoke for the brethren at the Ninth and Lime congregation here in Long Beach.

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday morning, May 7, in Long Beach, with the writer officiating, assisted by Hoyt Houchen. Burial was at Westminster.
