In November last he took sick with that dreaded disease pneumonia from which he never recovered sinking gradually until death relieved him. During his illness he was tenderly cared for by his loving wife and children and grandchildren, but more especially by two grandchildren, Clara Bintz and Viola Bintz, who were constantly at his bedside doing all that loving hands could do to restore him to health, but to no avail, He was laid away to await the resurrection morn on Sunday, March 2nd, in the St. John's Middle Church cemetery, followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives, amid beautiful floral offerings.
