Three preceded him to the Glory Land. On April 28, 1930 our community was shocked by the sudden death of our loved one when he was struck by a tree while he was plowing, and died immediately. He was 32 years old. He was a kind and loving husband and father. He was good to visit the sick, filled his place in the church. It grieves our hearts to give him up, but we must be submissive to the Lord's will. He leaves a wife, two children, mother, two sisters, five brothers and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Joe Laughner. By his wife.
