He was devoted to his family, who will sadly miss his care and counsel, No one could ask for a better neighbor for he was always among .the first of offer his service when necessity required it. His home was open to his friends and all who accepted his hospitality were given a genuine welcome. For two years he served his town as assessor and his work was done fearlessly and honestly being true always to the trust placed in him. He was a member of the E.F.U. in good standing.
