While yet as a boy of 14, he came with his parents to Sumner County, Kansas, and grew to manhood in the vicinity of Corbin and Caldwell. At the age of 21 he was united in marriage to Minnie Hildreth. Seven children were born to this union; four of whom proceeded their father in death. The three still remaining are Albert, Boyd, and Guy of Taft California. He has four grandchildren, three brothers and two sisters.
The brothers are; C.P. Stonehocker, of Hudson, Colorado; William of Talala, Oklahoma; and Samuel of Drummond, Oklahoma. The sisters are; Mrs. A.B. Yost of Kansas City, Missouri; and Mrs. S.M. Sturm of Caldwell, with many other relatives and friends.
