About three months ago he was taken ill with pneumonia, enduring the long siege without a murmur, from which grew complications which were the ultimate cause of his early demise. He passed from this world rejoicing in the triumph of a living faith January 17, 1911, aged 31 years, 11 months and 7 days. He leaves a wife, two sons and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely departure. The funeral was held this afternoon at two o'clock from the Christian Church.
