He was formerly a member of the firm which operated the Hagerstown Sash Factory and one of the contractors who built the Hotel Hamilton. He was a native of Frederick county.
      "He was married three times and is survived by this last wife and the following children: Mrs. J. W. Dayhoff, this city; Mr. Jacob Bodman [Bodmer], Poolesville, Md.; Mr. Jacob Little [Zittle], Omaha, Neb.; Frank, Mineola, Tex.; Charles, Washington; Marion [Marvin], Florence, Ala., and Miss Grace, at home.
