home. Since coming to the United States, the deceased resided for a time
in Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Canada and Ohio returning to Phillips
County, Colorado a little over a year ago.
He was one of the
early homesteaders of Phillips County and on October 28th 1888 was

attended the services of the Episcopal and Methodist churches and a few
years ago he and his wife united with the Presbyterian church from which
they removed their membership to the Methodist church of Holyoke.
During his residence in Phillips County he made many friends and was
very highly thought of by all who knew him. He had been in failing
health for some time and had returned to Colorado in the hope of
improving his health.
The funeral was conducted from the
Methodist church, Rev. Spence preaching the sermon, on Wednesday May 13,
