He was born in North Carolina on April 28, 1829. When but 4 years old he was brought to this County, where he has spent most of his life.
In 1850 he went with a company of pioneers from this county to California, where he worked in the mines. He was one of the most industrious of men, and was never known to shirk at his post of duty. He was a man whom no one in general could dislike.
He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy and afflicted or to do a neighbor a favor.
During his illness he suffered greatly. All that medical aid and careful nursing could do was done for him, but all in vain; At 3 a.m. on Dec. 16th his spirit took its flight, and the people of Parker lost a kind neighbor and his wife and children a kind and loving husband and father.
Interment took place at the Cleone cemetery, on Saturday. An immense concourse of people followed the remains to their last resting place.
The good old man is gone!
He lies in his saintly rest,
