He was president of the Christian Endeavor Society, superintendent of the Sunday school and a deacon in a Los Angeles Christian church. The body was brought by a friend who had been spending the winter in Los Angeles. Burial was in the South cemetery, Thursday afternoon, beside his mother. Rev. Richard Mead offered prayer at the grave. The father and one brother, Horace, survive, and live in South Bend.
