John was a sincere and faithful member of the Presbyterian church for the past fourteen years. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, having been made a Mason in 1915. He was also a member of the Signa Chi fraternity at Iowa State College. A noble young life was answered the summons of its Creator. A life whose sincere devotion to Christian principles and conscientious observance of fraternal duties, won the close friendship of a large company, and left the mart of its true nobility upon them all.
