He was a man of kind disposition and bore the suffering of his last illness with patience. He was the last of a family of nine children, his parents and his brothers and sisters having all passed to the great beyond. He was a very industrious man and had a large circle of friends, and always had a kind word for all whom he met.
His remains were brought to Lowell for burial and a short service and prayer was held at the grave by Rev. C.A. Brown.
