"Overwhelmed by the problems of Africa he later went to Sudan as a missionary working for the Slavery Repression Department and was killed by those he had gone to help. He died in his 31st year but his body was never recovered. A memorial service was held in Glenorchy Tas. and his death date given as 1.3.1908. A stained glass window in the Methodist Church, Glenorchy is dedicated to his memory." - SOURCE (members.pcug.org.au)
