  He was united in marriage to Alice Fox on Aug. 2, 1918, and to this union six children were born.  Ervin Wendell, who preceded him in death Sept. 24, 1920, William Kenneth of East Moline, Ill., Wayne Robert and Willard LaVern of Seymour, Mrs. Helen Mae Jones of Millerton and Marianna Kae, at home.

  Three sisters also survive, Mrs. Gertie Hudson of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Etta Phillips of Rock Springs, Wyo., and Mrs. Ocie Huston of St. Joseph.

  His entire life was spent in Appanoose and Wayne counties.  For the past few years he has been on employee of Wayne county.  He was a kind and loving father, husband and grandfather and will be sadly missed by all.

  A precious one from us is gone,

    A voice we loved is still,

  A place is vacant in our home

    Which never can be filled.
