The subject of this sketch was born in Jackson county, Ohio, Aug. 15, 1823, and was converted to Christ at the age of 15 years, at which time he united with the Baptist church; and was afterward chosen one of its deacons, in which office he served for more than thirty years. He maintained his church relations until the day of his death.
On Nov. 10, 1844, he was married to Elizabeth Halterman in Scioto county, Ohio, and removed to Illinois in the year 1849, where he was a pioneer, made a good home and raised a large family of eight sons and two daughters, five of whom, with their mother, survive him. He moved to Blair, nineteen years ago, where he has made his home ever since. He had been an invalid for the past five years, and for thirty-seven days prior to his death took no food of any kind.
The funeral services were conducted from the residence by Pastor Whiting of the Baptist church on Sunday, the 23, who preached from Thessalonians 4th chapter, 17th verse.
