He was also a preacher according to his grandson, Richard Henry. I have his New Testament which is heavily underscored and annotated and filled with clippings. It was a gift to him from his daughter, Mary Etta on July 4, 1908. After his death, it was returned to her and she added a note: "After fathers death Nov 18-1915 This book came back to me and I want Richard to have it, as his book, + to read it for grand-pa's and Mothers sake - Etta C."
