The Michigan Advocate says; "In character and spirit he was a noble and amiable and gifted man. He possessed an active mind, clear perceptions, ardent devotion to truth and indomitable industry. He was reserved and modest, but firm in his convictions. He had decision of character which gave him a fixed, stable and consistent tenor of life. He formed strong attachments, and with his personal friends he was affable, frank and reciprocal. His religious life was devout and equable, and far removed from any assaults of doubt or despondency."
