He emigrated to the United States in 1867 and he thereafter became a naturalized citizen. He was employed as a stockman. He owned his farm free and clear of any mortgage. He was married to Christina Hampton and they had been married for eight years. Christina was 28 years old, having been born in March 1872 in Illinois. Her father was born in Ohio and her mother in Indiana. She had given birth to four children and they were all alive at the time of the census. The four children were in the home.

She had developed bronchi pneumonia several days before her death and it was the primary cause of her death. She had been attended by Dr. E. A.
