At an early age, he gave his life to his Lord by the rite of Christian baptism which was a great comfort to him during the many years of a fruitful life. On Nov. 5, 1939, he was received into the fellowship of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church, to which he remained faithful until death. During his long illness he was anointed with oil in the name of the Lord which helped him to bear with patience the afflicitions of the final days of his life.

Hymns selected by the family were 452,456, and 451, In the Wood Colony cemetery, as the body was laid to rest, we sang hymns 499, 455, and 457, after which we were comforted by the words of Bro Harold Miller, who reminded us that he whose lips had long been silenced by the hand of affliction would again be employed in singing eternal praises to the Savior. The service was concluded with prayer.
