and kept up his interest in the town until the last. He had business
interests in Pittsburgh and always made it a point to come to McDonald when
in this part of the country. He had a wide acquaintance, especially among
the oil and gas fraternity, and no man in the entire tri-state territory was
held in higher regard. Scores of friends in this territory will learn of
his death with sorrow.

all his dealings.
