Deceased was an old resident of this county, first settling in Royal Oak nearly forty years ago. He was a successful farmer, and during his six years residency in this city, he simply took care of the hard earned property he had by economy and industry accumulated in early life. He possessed traits of character of both a business and social order which more and more endeared him to this community, as they became known. His funeral took place from the Presbyterian Church last Sunday afternoon Rev. J.M. Gelston officiating and remains were buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, by the Masonic fraternity of which he was a member."
