He was married to Margaret Elizabeth Blake, in Ohio, in the year 1861, who preceded him in death March 30, 1915. To this union was born one son who survives.
He was baptized in infancy, and since living in the community he made a public profession of the Christian life, and was received into preparatory membership at Price Chapel.

He was a man who was loved by all who knew him. To his intimate friends he has left the memory of a clean, wholesome, and likable personality. To his country he gave a useful and intelligent service.
His last days was spent reading his Bible, and although death came suddenly, he had everything arranged to meet the inevitable.
