On April 21, 1932 he was joined in Holy Matrimony 
to Ms. Elizabeth Kennedy and to this union two children

employed by the Evans Board of Education for 22 years 
as a bus driver. This indicates that he was both dedicated 
and trustworthy. He was also owner and manager of 
Bakers Barbeque and Convenience Store.

deen, Maryland; six grandchildren, several nieces,

God saw the road was getting rough 
The Hills were hard to climb 
He gently closed those loving eyes 
And whispered, Peace Be Thine. 
The weary hours, the days of pain. 
The sleepless nights are passed. 
The ever-patient worn out frame 
Has found sweet rest at last.
