year, and for nine weeks had been in a serious condition. Almost
until the last though, he was conscious and discussed matters,
including possible death, with those at his bedside. Despite that he was a large man and accustomed to activity outdoors until taken to his bed, he was patient and kindly. Several times he was known to remark about his condition, realizing the seriousness of it, saying that he knew by all odds he should live many years but if death seemed his fate, he would accept it smilingly and without a murmur. That his relatives declared he did and the passing was with quiet and peace. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at three thirty o'clock with interment in the Collinsville cemetery.
