He united with the Mill Creek Baptist church Feb. 1885. In June following he was chosen a |
deacon and ordained as such the third Sunday in October, 1885, and has served continuously since, |
a record of which he was justly proud. To his church he was ever loyal to the right as he saw it. |
Always true, conservative by nature, he clung to the land marks of faith by which the many good |
people of all religious denominations have lived and died. It has been said by a neighbor, he did |
not have an enemy. Kindly and courteous to everyone. His life is a rich heritage for the children |
and grandchildren, a guide for them as the years come and go. |
|
For the last 11 years he and his wife have made their home with the daughter, Mrs. Josephine |
Hurst, who always was anxious for their welfare and has attended their every need, day and night. |
He belonged to the G.A.R. post of Greencastle, taking great interest in the meetings and always |
attended the regimental reunions at Gosport [Indiana] each year, and only the day before he died |
had spoken about the reunion, saying he would like to go if permitted. . . . |
