On Thursday he went to Camden as a delegate to the A. M. E. conference. He was taken dangerously sick soon after he reached Camden and he gradually sank until his death. The funeral was held this afternoon at one o'clock at the house and at two o'clock at Zion church. The service was conducted by Rev. J. D. Carrothers, pastor of the church. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. T. Biddle of Eatontown. The body was buried at Lincroft.

E. church and had been superintendent of the Sunday-school for the past ten years. He was the founder of the Red Bank drum corps, but of late years had not been active in its affairs.
