Hicks, near Winterset, Iowa; John H., in Nebraska; Wm. D., in Indian Territory; and Kate A., of Winterset. His second wife lived but a short time. He then married Mrs. Sarah Warden, Dec. 31, 1874, and one child, Myrtle R. blessed this union.
While in Iowa he united with the New Light denomination, and later joined the M. E. Church.
In 1881 he, with his family, moved to Nodaway county, Missouri, where he joined the M. E. church, South, and lived a constant member until his death, which was caused by consumption, March 7, 1890, after great suffering, which he bore with great fortitude, being 57 years and 8 days old. He often expressed himself as being prepared to go
to a world of perpetual sunshine, where sin and sorrow will be no more.
