He was a member, of the United Brethren Church at Enterprise.
The past summer he led his community in building a splendid church house near his farm home.
He loved the Lord, and was well versed in the New Testament. He rejoiced to see men and women brought from darkness to light. A congregation was made to feel that God was near when he prayed.
A son and a daughter preceded their father in death. A wife and five children survive.
We have lost a personal friend and brother in Christ, a true yoke-fellow. The day is not far distant when we will meet again.

Per volunteer Gia Hays who visited this cemetery, the GPS coordinates for Fortney Cemetery are incorrect as listed on findagrave.com.
Instead, she says this cemetery is near Enterprise, Harrison Co, WV just across the border of Marion Co. and is not the same as IOOF Cemetery aka Enterprise Cemetery or Enterprise Odd Fellows (IOOF) Cemetery.
The correct GPS coordinates:
Latitude: 39.425851, Longitude: -80.295568
