Joseph was the 8th of 16 children. On November 9, 1850, he was baptized at the Wapwallopen Union Reformed and Lutheran Church in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

He married Lucinda Miller, and they had six daughters: Sarah Catherine, Mary, Della May, Matilda Jane, Jennie Elizabeth, and Elsie Florence.

Joseph died in an accident in the West End Company coal mines. He and another man had fired a shot and proceeded to the face of the breast to bar down the coal, but found it was not sufficiently released. They put in another hole, which they charged, and were tamping it when the whole maw of coal fell upon them and killed them.
