He received his education in Lincoln and Mason City, Ill., and then with his father and brothers operated at dairy until 1878, when they decided to come west, leaving Illinois Sept. 21, and landed on a farm near Udall, Kas., Oct. 21, where they remained for a time. Then they went on west where he proved up on a claim near Coldwater, Kas. It was there he met his companion, Miss Clara Hunter. After living there for several years, he moved back to Udall and was married Jan. 3, 1892 and commenced farming near Red Bud, Kas.

He then was stricken with paralysis, from which he suffered for six years and 11 months.
