Joseph was an invalid, suffering from a back problem, and was unable to do heavy work. However, he was able to manage the family farm and work also as a schoolteacher.
His transcribed birth record in Vermont gives that date as September 11, but his gravestone implies a birthday of September 10, and the gravestone of his twin brother Ephraim (in this same cemetery) explicitly gives September 10.
Joseph had a neck beard, when those were cool.
He died while visiting his son Wilbur in Freeborn, Minnesota.
