He, like his brother Charles A. died from a complication of diseases, but lived to be almost three years older. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Blundon, from the residence of P. I. Blazier. A large number of friends and neighbors followed his remains to his narrow home in Delhi cemetery
