Deceased was held in much esteem as an upright Tradesman and an intelligent man. He has left an amiable Wife to deplore the loss of a most affectionate Husband - a young Family of a tender Parent; while the Church to which he was united (the Independents) is deprived of one of its most active and valuable members, and the world at large of a good and useful citizen.
