Apparently as well as usual, he was sitting in his chair, and had been talking when suddenly he told Esther he was blind. She immediately went to him, but he had breathed his last already..." April 27th: "Ada went with Sarah and Mahlon Johnson to attend the funeral at Sugar Grove. It was very large indeed, 75 or 85 vehicles were in the procession; not near all could get into the Meeting.
