American Association for the Advancement of Science. Aside from 

 membership in scientific bodies, he was a Mason of high rank. 



In his religious affiliations Dr. Safford was a Presbyterian. By 

 precept and example, he carried his Christianity into his daily life. 

 For example, on the geological excursion of 1879 mentioned above, 

 the young men were gathered together for prayers every morning 

 before breakfast, and his association with these young men, his in- 

 terest in instructing them, provision for their comfort, solicitude for 

 their good reputations, was like that of a father. 



In 1859 Dr. Safford married Mrs. Catherine K. Owens, of Leb- 

 anon, Tennessee — a happy union lasting until her death at Dallas, 

 Texas, in . Their only child was Mrs. D. M. Morrow, of Dal- 

 las, Texas, with whom he made his home after his retirement from 

 active life in 1900. For seven years he lived there in quiet comfort 

 and contentment, with the respect and honor of all who knew him. 

 He passed peacefully away on June 2, 1907, and was buried at 

 Dallas.
