At age 18, he joined the Baptist Church, but changed to the Methodist Church c. 3 years later. He married Mary Kilbourn, and moved with her c. 6 years ago from Blenheim to St. George. Last May , he was seized with his fatal malady, which was induced by inhaling the effluvium of lead in painting, and died, Sept. 4, 1867 survived by his wife and 3 children.
