His wife, Nancy, was boss of the family. He was a soft-spoken, gentle man who never raised his voice or spoke a harsh word to anyone. He was the owner of a little store that sold everything from chickens, with a chicken coup out back, to chewing tobacco, which had to be cut off in chunks. The store traded one thing for another on the barter system. It was located in Frisco, but they lived ½-mile down the road in Essex.
He lived 22 years following his wife's death in 1941. He died at the age of 89 on 2 Oct 1963, in Butler, Bates County, Missouri, and is buried in the Dexter Cemetery.
