After the death of the parents, the two brothers lived together. They moved to Foster in 1907. Uncle Joe, as we all called him, lived among us always ready to lend a helping hand to his fellowmen. Never tired of doing good wherever he could. A good neighbor, he was the same in sunshine or storm. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by all.
