About 18 months ago, because of failing health, he retired from the firm of Gowing & Higgins, wholesale meat dealers, with which he had been identified for many years.

Jr. of Hope, Kansas, Percy W. of Lawrence, Frank E. of North Andover and Charles B. of Lawrence. He was brother in law of Swift ,the Chicago Packer and was Lawrence agent for the firm. No arrangements for the funeral have been made.
