John L. House and Elizabeth A. Moore married on January 10, 1850 in Jefferson County, Illinois. I am aware of five children, the last being born ca. 1863.
John L. House, father of Hansel W. House, spent the days of his youth in Illinois, where his time was largely given to the occupation of farming. After his marriage he took up his abode in that state and continued to follow farming until 1868, when he removed to Minnesota, In the fall of the same year he was stricken with smallpox and died. In politics he was a Republican, although he was the only member of the family affiliated with that party. In each community in which he lived he was respected because of his honesty of purpose and his upright life and he was a worthy member of the Christian church and of the Masonic lodge. In his last sickness he was cared for by his brethren of the Masonic fraternity, who also conducted the funeral service. He left his family in rather limited financial circumstances.
