He settled in Upshur county, now Camp, where he lived many years and at the time of his death. Being one of the pioneers of Texas, he endured many of the dangers and hardships of frontier life. He served as Lieutenant in the late war and discharged the duties of his office so that he gained the confidence and esteem of his whole command, many of whom remain to shed the tear of grief for him. He left many relatives and friends, and but few, if any, enemies. He did not profess regeneration of heart until his last sickness, when he found Jesus precious in the pardon of his sins and died trusting in Him for salvation. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, they cease from their labors and their works do follow them.
