A missionary in Africa but no evidence of any notability. Many of the sources are family tree/ genealogy sources which attest to facts but not notabiity. He gets a mention in source 4 as a young man with an eye to an attractive daughter of a missionary family but nothing here speaks of notability and the source is highly affiliated.

Delete: The sources are, except one, either self-published obituaries in newspapers or on funeral home websites, or otherwise Ancestry or Geni family trees (also self-published), as well as a gravestone and some US General Land Office Records (primary), plus a self-published biography of him on someone's blog. The only possible good source in this is the book, "Stewards of Grace," which was written by his grandson. Google searches and google books searches give no results, so delete.
