But not to the neglect of his spiritual and eternal interests.  He had been a faithful member and liberal supporter of the ME Church for nearly 40 years and when death came it had no terrors.  His dying utterance was, “I am fully prepared to die.”  He will be missed in the community and in the church as well as his family.  “He rests from his labor and his works will follow him.”
