In 1906 he visited his Fatherland once more. He was well educated, spoke several languages and loved to talk about his travels and many experiences, and often of evenings he would sit by the fireside and tell his children of the many lands and places he had seen. He was a highly respected citizen, and will be greatly missed. He died January 7th, 1911.
