I had a boy of four years left who was taken care of by friendly neighbors. I then lived a single life for seven years, by that time I had gotten over my bereavement. I had a good claim, was considered well fixed for
those days. When I made the acquaintance of my present wife, and in 1870 I decided to marry again."
