    He was "among a very few who can lay claim to the distinction of having gone to school with Sir John A. Macdonald".

    "Until the last few years he had enjoyed the best of health, having seldom suffered a day of illness."

    Religion:
    He "worshipped in the old Quaker meeting house, which still stands on the shores of Hay Bay, but on the breaking up of the Quakers as a distinct sect, he transferred his allegiance to the Church of England".
