He was methodical in business affairs, and had a complete record of every cent of money expended or contributed by him for any purpose since his youth, and his day book, which he had in his possession even after his last illness came upon him, has entered upon its pages the visits of the family physician up to and including April 24th, when he became too ill to give the matter further attention.
"He served several months has a solider in the service of the Confederacy, but his company did not get to participate in any of the battles.
