Solars of Buchanan county, Mo. The wife died February 16, 1863. May 21, 1864, he led to the marriage altar Mrs. Mary J. Thornton, who yet survives him. After various residences in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, he settled finally with his family at Shell Grove, where at 3:22 a. m. on the 11th of August 1894, he peacefully fell asleep, aged 61 years, 18 months and 6 days, leaving the widow, twelve children and one brother to mourn his loss.

He was converted to Christ and baptized by Wiley B. Fisk of Ky., in Ray county, Missouri, in the year of 1858. On the 4thLord's day in July 1864, he preached his first sermon at Rockbluff, Nebraska. He preached his last discourse at King Grove, Mo., 5th Lord's day in July 1894.
