For several years he was actively engaged in missionary work, being director of a district in Michigan. Shortly before becoming a Seventh-day Adventist he was married to Jenette Weed. To them four children were born, three of whom still survive. His wife died in 1891. About a year after this he went West, but later moved to Graysville, Tenn. In 1896 he was married to Bettie Harris, who preceded him in death. Our brother sleeps in Jesus. A very large congregation listened to remarks by the writer from Rev. 21:4.
