He was also a member of the I. O. O. F. of Edinburg, in which order he had held many high offices and was always looked upon as a model Odd Fellow.
He had served as trustee of Blue River township and also as a member of the school board of Edinburg, both of which places he filled to the entire satisfaction of the public.
He leaves a wife, two children, mother and two sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
