Following his marriage he continued to live in Iowa City until 1935 when because of ill health it was necessary for him to take his family to Phoenix, Arizona, where he has since made his home.
For several years he had known of a condition that made death a thing to be expected for him at any time, and yet this knowledge robbed him of none of the zest of living.

His going away has brought sadness to his immediate family and to a great host of friends who prized his friendship highly.
