He was united in marriage to Martha L. Lake. To this union were born: Mrs. O. E. Peterson, Los Angeles; Mrs. George Bullis, Knoxville; Mrs. J. V. Mandia and Mrs. F. R. Johnson, Des Moines.
Also surviving are seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren to mourn the passing of a devoted father and grandfather, and many dear friends , who will miss his fatherly council.
He united with the Primitive Baptist church in early manhood, and remained a devoted and loyal member and elder as long as he was able to attend his church. The church will miss his presence with them just as they have since he had been unable to be with them the past few years on account of his health.
