His remains were interred in Battle Grove to rest in the sweet, peaceful sleep that knows no awakening. Peace to his ashes. Heart will hold in sacred memory his name.

His position in the Senate was that of a leader and he was looked upon as one of the bright young men who would be called to stations of trust and honor in the near future. As a lawyer he was attentive, studious and able. As a citizen he ranked second to none and as a gentleman he was recognized everywhere as a peer of any; as that his untimely taking away causes deep regret in the hearts of all who appreciated high mental and moral worth. - Carlisle Mercury Harrison County Courier Saturday 8 Sep 1888 Vol. 1 No. 52 E.
