The death of this good man has brought sadness to many hearts. He
had been a resident of Corsicana for several years, at one time
being a most valued and expert mechanic in the employ of the
American Well & Prospecting Company, but for the past few years had
been unable to follow his chosen profession, but through it all he
remained most cheerful and always had a happy greeting for those
with whom he came in contact. The sympathy of the entire community
will go out to the lonely companion and four children who survive
him.
