This gift was shown in a marked degree in the able sermons which he preached during his early manhood. He was also possessed of rare business talent, having by industry and prompt attention to business matters amassed a fine property. The writer in his deal with Mr. Halsey always found him prompt, honorable and upright in every particular. The funeral services occurred at his late residence Saturday, Oct 22, conducted by Rev.
