He was never very strong, so he went suddenly with pneumoniahe died of Liver Infection, complicat, by pneumonia. We lived only about 4 miles away. We remember him as quiet, thin and kind -he was a shingle weaver and was always working on old cars, he was a good mechanic. My brother Hal thought he was the greatest. Aunt Anna was a happy-go-lucky, laughing, singing, pretty girl. She and Bob were inseparable." Charlies Stilson wrotes that he died of a liver infection complicated by pneumonia.

Margaret Lee adds note, I never got to meet my grandfather, he died before my father was grown, but I have seen pictures of him, but no one ever talked about him.
