All that loving hands could do was done, through his suffering, when he quietly fell asleep and departed this life to take up his abode in the Great Beyond.

He leaves to mourn his loss his bereaved wife, six daughters, Mrs. John English, Mrs. Morris Egan, Mrs. Ann Morris, Mrs. Wm. Carroll, Mrs. Ben Reuter of Cornelia and Mrs. Floyd Likens of La Crosse, Wis. Three sons, Ray and Tom of Potosi, and Vivian of Lancaster. Thirty-six grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren. One brother Moses, of Cornelia and one sister, Mrs. John Toulouse of Montana.

In his long and useful life he gained many friends for he was a friend of everybody and harmed none.

Funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the house, the Rev. Guy Goodsell, officiating. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
