He removed to Milton, Wis., in 1854, where he united with the church, of which he remained a member until he quietly yielded up his spirit to God who gave it, "knowing in whom he had believed." He left a wife and two children, with a large circle of connections and friends, to mourn their loss. "Man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets." O. P. H.
