This union was blessed with ten children, Josh of Denver, Col., the only one surviving, nine having preceded their father in death.

Nobly thy course is run,
Splendor is all around it.
Bravely thy fight is won,
Victory has crowned it.
In thy warfare of heaven,
With crown old and hoary.
Thou art like the summer's sun,
Shrouded in Old Glory.
Funeral services were held from the Archer Funeral Home Saturday afternoon at two o'clock by Rev. Henry Kello. Interment in Maple Ridge cemetery.
