In early life he was converted and joined the Baptist Church at South Muddy, later moving his membership to Bogota, where he remained a faithful member until his death. His suffering during the last few years of his life was intense, but he bore his pain patiently, planning things he would do to repay his friends and neighbors for the many good deeds during his illness.
