A large concourse of personal friends and friends of the cause of Spiritualism attended.

He then said, "I have been his attendant physician, and conversed with him daily during his slow decline. He suffered much at times, but never complained. He always met me with a smile. He had no fear of death, still he wanted to live. He was firm, truthful, and honorable in every sense. He was a husband, a son, and a brother--and a linch-pin in the cause of Spiritualism.
