To his wife he was a good husband, to his children a kind and loving father, and to his friends he was a man among men, loved by old and young alike.

Johnson of Chicago, Ill., Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman and daughter of Wrightstown, Wis., Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Horn of Olivein, Iowa and Mr. August Horn of St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Theo.
