His parents were pioneers in this county and entered the land belonging to the homestead from the government and their home was the meeting place of the congregation of a Baptist Church for a considerable time and until a Mt. Carmel Baptist Church building of logs was erected, later to be replaced by the present structure, the land being donated by the father of the deceased and in the church yard of which both parents are buried. Early in life the departed united with this church and a (sic - in) late life moved his membership to a Baptist Church in Excelsior Springs, Mo, where it remained until his death.
