After a short rest he was able to get upstairs with the help of his wife and son.There he was laid upon the bed from which he never rose again. He remained conscious though somehow unable to speak much, throughout most of the day till evening, when he became de lirious, and the family called in Dr. Grant of Woodville, who found three ribs and the collar bone broken. He must have suffered internal injuries as well, for in spite of all that could be done of kindness and medical skill he sank rapidly till the end came at midnight Thursday. His three sons with their wives were with him at the last, though he never regained consciousness to leave a message of any kind. On the Sunday before his death he seemed trying to say something, and his wife leaning over him asked, ‘‘Is the Saviour precious to you?” He answered, with a nod.
