When he returned home, he, with his wife, settled at once in a new farm in the woods in Sebewa, where he has since continuously resided, being one of the early pioneers of this section.
He was the father of nine children, one dying in infancy, 8 living in the surrounding community, namely Cora E. at home, Sylvester C., Andrus W., Jay B., Tillotson O. Carrie B. Kimble, Ada S. Ingall and Lottie M. Kauffman.

He was converted to the Christian faith under the ministry of Rev. M. Donald, pastor of the Sebewa with which he immediately affiliated and has always been actively connected. In November he had a touch of pneumonia developing into a general breakdown in health, causing his death."
