He sang for his students. He & Phebe rest at Crummett's Run Brethren Church in Sugar Grove, WV. Phebe Jane Simmons

"When I was a child, I thought that sparkling green church in Sugar Grove was beautiful. I remember going into the store. Mama had eye surgery when I was a child. Cameron took my sister and me there, and Granddaddy, Arthur Eckard was there. I remember that I was embarrassed because Mama didn't want her parents to know that we were there. She didn't want to worry her parents."
~ Carolyn Fisher Johnson, daughter of the late Hazel Eckard Fisher, reminiscing about Sugar Grove during her childhood.
