Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, seiges of Atlanta and Savannah, and at Raleigh, where the final engagement took place. His noble and exalted work as a private now being over, he returned to his old home, where anxious parents were waiting to welcome their most honored and beloved son.When twentyone years of age he united with the Methodist41Episcopal church at Coletown and remained a true follower ofChrist. After his marriage he,#with his wife, united with the Reformed church at Bethel. Later they cast their lot with the Reformed church at Hillgrove, sf which he remained a faithful and valued member until summoned to the realms above where there are no hardships, pains and sorrows, but where joy, peace and never-ending bliss reign supreme.That death cometh as a thief in the night was again verified, when the Grim Reaper clasped him in his icy* fingers and revealed to us that, in the midst of life there is death.
