When he located his farm in Section 4, Stafford township In 1852 he cleared a small patch of ground and built a hewed log house, 26x18 feet in size, one story and a half high. The environments of his pioneer days trained him in thrift and economy and by hard labor he added to his original purchase until he owned a good farm of 200 acres in a good state of cultivation.
He was married June 16, 1850 to Margaret Weimer to which union were born seven children. He was an active member in the United Brethren church and a man of sterling integrity and highly esteemed by the entire community.
His death is not only a loss to his family but to the entire county as he was a citizen of noble ambitions and worthy of the confidence in which he was held by the community in which he lived.
