The family consisted of six children, five boys and one girl.   Three of the brothers were Union soldieers, two of them giving their lives for the cause. The other, James, died at Kalispell, Montana, last year. His only surviving brother, George, now lives in Charleston, Arkansas.   The deceased entered the Confederate Army in 1861, serving faithfully almost four years in the cause which he then considered just and right, although, in after years, having removed to the north, his views changed in regard to secession.   He at that time did what he had been led to believe was his duty.  Being paroled in July 1863 he served the U. S. Government as a teamster for a time.   On March 27, 1868 he was married to Emily Singletary. Four children were born to them.   The oldest died in 1885, the other three children, one son and two daughters, and the sorrowing wife survive him.   He moved to Illinois in 1868, where he spent the greater part of his life. He came to Nebraska in 1882 and returned to Illinois in 1889. After living one year in Arkansas and one year in Tennessee, he returned to Nebraska, three years ago. He settled on the homestead which he occupied at the time of his death.   His strongest characteristics were his unselfishness and his strong sense of honesty and justice toward all mankind.
