He is a member of the Masonic order at New Harmony, also a member of the Methodist Church. He was the father of three children, of whom two are living — Sanford and Harriet. He is always noted for his honor, and fair dealing with his fellow-men, and will leave behind a name of which his children should ever feel proud.
