On December 25, 1877, he was married to Miss Emma Rood, of North Loup. About twenty-five years ago they came to Boulder, Colo., where they resided till the time of his death.

When very young, Brother Terry gave his heart to Christ, and united with the Welton Seventh Day Baptist Church. Though not a member of the Boulder Church, he was very helpful in the church, and was the faithful chorister of the church from almost the time of its organization till about four years ago. He was truly a good man, cheerful, patient and kind, loved and respected by all who knew him. Funeral services were held from the Boulder Undertaking Parlors, July 17, 1914, conducted by Pastor Davis. Four nephews, L. A. Davis, E. T. Davis, Ralph Van Horn, and J. R.
