He was greatly respected in this community. It was known far and wide that he never spoke a harsh word of anyone and all in the community spoke well of him. While he was not a strong man physically and not in the best of health, his death was sudden and unexpected. His death [was] a shock to the whole community. A brave soldier of the cross of Christ has fallen and his spirit has returned to God. If his family live faithful to Christ and the church they will meet him in the glorious morning of eternity. He leaves to mourn his loss a faithful wife, two sons, two daughters, three brothers and three sisters. May the love of God reign with all who are left that they may meet him in heaven.rment in Siam cemetery.
