He died of a particularly dreadful form of that loathsome disease cancer, of which he is said to have suffered for the past fifteen years. It got so bad that the tongue was all eaten away, and for many months he could take no solid food. But the deceased bore all suffering and discomfort in a true Christian spirit never murmuring. He was a valued member of the North Woolwich Evangelical congregation and for years its Sunday School superintendent.

A large number of relatives and friends paid a last tribute of respect to the departed by attending the funeral. The pallbearers were: John Wagner, George Edler, George Schneider, Charles Koepke, Levi Bowman and Mr. Moldenhauer. Rev. E.H. Bean conducted the funeral service assisted by Rev. F. G.
