SHIAWASSEE COUNTY .14
At the time of his death he was one of the oldest pioneer settlers of the town ship of Burns. He was highly respected for those noble and generous impulses which mark the man and the Mason. Whatever it was necessary for him to do, he believed he should do as worthy his best effort. Although the age which the poet has called " dark and unlovely " was upon him, yet to those who knew him best his eye was not dim, nor was his natural force abated. That ambition which nerved him for the strong conflicts of pioneer life continued his inspiration down almost tc the hour of his death.
