He lived five miles Southwest of Blanchard and was one of our best and most prominent farmers. He was born in Virginia where he spent most of his boyhood days.

He was born Oct. 3, 1881. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at two thirty at the Methodist church conducted by Rev. Hardaway. He was laid to rest in the Blanchard cemetery. He leaves a grief stricken wife besides other relatives.
