On October 30, 1901, he was married to Alice Elizabeth Whitla who preceeded him in death on December 8, 1946. They moved to their farm home north west of Edgerton shortly after their marriage and lived on the farm until 1941 when they moved to Edgerton where he has made his home since that time.

Also, surviving are one sister, Miss Jessie Scott Secrest of Edgerton, and one brother, Clyde Secrest, also of Edgerton. Seven grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Mr. Secrest was a good man, a dutiful son, a loyal brother, a loving husband, a kind father, and a good neighbor. His loss will be keenly felt by his family, his neighbors, and his friends, and he will be lovingly remembered by all those privileged to know him.
