The deceased was born in Steuben county, New York. He enlisted in the union army October 4th, 1861, and served in the army of the Potomac under Rosecrans and Meade. He was wounded three times. He was honorable discharged October 9th, 1864. He came to Pawnee county with his family in 1875, and had been in business in this city since 1885. Any tribute to his memory which we could write would be superfluous. His wife says, “He was a kind and loving husband.” One of his army comrades says, “He was a brave and good soldier.” A Larned business man says, “He was honorable and upright in all his business transactions.” His Masonic brethren say, “He was a true and worthy brother mason.” This leaves nothing else to be said except that “an honest man is the noblest work of God.” May his ashes ever rest in peace.
