Chicago in 1912 where he lived until he was called to his reward, September
25, 1929.
He leaves a wife, four brothers and two sisters, Hattie
Hudson Malone Frank, Fred, Berte, Henry, Mrs. May Caster, and Mrs. Belle
Wonch, of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
He was a member of Siloam Lodge No.
780, A. F. & A. M., and Welcome Chapter, No. 679, O. E. S.
Services
were conducted in Chicago, Saturday, September 28, at 4 p. m., under the
auspices of Siloam Lodge No. 780, A. F. & A. M., and Welcome Chapter, No.

services were again conducted at the home of Mrs. Anna Hudson, under the

Chicago. He was a kind considerate husband, and an affectionate brother,
conscientious in all his dealings, and was patriotic. His honest dealings
and cheerful disposition made for him a great circle of friends as was shown
at the services Saturday in Chicago and Sunday in St. Elmo, where hundreds
of friends came to pay their respects.
He will be sadly missed in
his home and among friends.
