died. He took care of himself until the last month and was bedridden for a month only. He died three months before he turned 92 years old as the oldest resident in Chester. He was an outdoor man, but he was a strong family man and saw a need in the community for a store, so he became a merchant for a time. The store became an important part of the family life. In looking at old family photographs, they are often taken in front of the store. He was a strong-willed man, a survivor generous and confident in his ability to survive. His grandsons talk of him emphatically as a mountain man and of his unwavering generosity. He touched lives by this steadfast character, not only through inherited traits, but by example.
