In 1860 he lived with his parents and four siblings (his brother James got missed by the census taker) in a house in Ward 3 in Allegheny, PA. His father worked as an upholsterer, and owned personal property worth $25.

In 1870 he and his mother and five siblings lived in Ward 2 in Allegheny. She owned real property worth $2000 and personal property worth $150.

In 1880 he and his first wife, their three children, and her sister Lena lived in a house at 228 Federal Street in Allegheny. He worked as an upholsterer. (A close comparison between old maps will show precisely where that is--it was re-numbered to the 1100 or 1200 block by 1900.)

By 1889 he had divorced and remarried.

In 1900 he and his second wife and their two children lived in an apartment they were renting at 403 Jackson St. #2 in Allegheny--now Jacksonia Street on Pittsburgh's North Side. Also boarding with them was 18-year-old Mattie Owen.

By 1904 Christina had divorced him and remarried a man much closer to her in age.

He lived various places and worked as a carpenter for most of the rest of his life.

In 1920 he lived at the Home For Aged Protestant Couples And Men on Swissvale Avenue in Ward 2 in Wilkinsburg, PA.

He died in Columbia Hospital in Pittsburgh of lobar pneumonia after a three day stay. A contributing cause was cirrhosis of the liver.
