In 1878 he moved to Springfield, Minn., where he engaged in the grain business until 1885, that year moving to Montevideo, Minn., where he engaged in the same line of business. He was later elected county auditor of Chippewa county, which position he held for about ten years. He is now engaged in the mercantile business at Montevideo. He was united in marriage to Julia Hellickson, daughter of Matthew and Anna Hellickson, territorial pioneers of Fillmore, and the first settlers of Bloomfield township.
