He professed faith in Christ in his youth, and united with the M. E. church. In the spring of 1860, under the labors of J. N. Andrews, he embraced the truths held by S. D. Adventists. He leaves a wife and two daughters to mourn his loss; but we mourn not as those without hope; for we believe that he sleeps in Jesus. Funeral services were held in the S. D.
