He came to the village in early manhood and has ever since been so idenfied with its interests, that all must feel his loss. He was always most active in educational matters, one of the supporters of the Academy in its most prosperous days. Many of our citizens are indebted to him in a measure for that education that enabled them to succeed in life and always to be found boldly on the side of morality. His influence in the community cannot be too highly estimated A constant attendant at the Presbyterian Chrurch, he felt a deep interest in its welfare."<ref name="Ancestry">www.ancestry.com</ref> <br />
