He was born in Johnson Co, Iowa, and lived there all his life until Oct, 1938, when he and his wife moved to Wellman, where he lived with their son Samuel.

He was the youngest of the family, having had four brothers: Henry, Ananias, John and Joseph, and one sister, Mary.

He accepted Christ in his youth, uniting with the Mennonite Church in which faith he died.

On Oct 10, 1893, he was married to Katie Bender.

To this union were born 7 children, all of whom were present at the service: Lucy Mae (Mrs Earl Fairchild) of North English; Frank, Samuel, Altkins, and Glen of Wellman; Mary (Mrs Earl Fairchild) of Atkins, Minn; and Ervin of Iowa City.

Not fully recovering from this stroke, from this time on he was noticeably failing but he did not cease doing his daily task in trying to carry on his part without a complaint to be heard by any one. On Jan 9, 1939 he was the victim of a third stroke which resulted in his death.

Funeral services were held Jan 13 at the Lower Deer Creek church conducted by W S Guengerich and Harvey Yoder. Text, Jas 4:14. Burial in nearby cemetery.

"Gone into that light that shies so fair,
Gone from the earth of sorrow and care,
Resting those hands that did their best,
Gone, dear father, gone to rest."
