Beside his affiliation with the church he was also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, the Hancock County Mutual Life Association and of the Royal Neighbors of America.
His sincerity in his religious professions was given full and practical expression in his universally fair and upright dealings in all social and business relations, and, most of all, in his loyal and unstinted devotion to his family. With them we sorrow, with them cherish the memory of him whose loss we deeply deplore.
