In 1915 John married Bella Lawrence from Spencerville where they raised their children.
John was a farmer most of his life but after the death of his wife spent his final nine years working as an auto mechanic and general machine repairman.
The early deaths of both John and Bella left seven children under 15 without a mother, and just seven years later with no father.
