He was first married February. 21, 1866 to Miss Cloey L. Andrews who lived until May 22, 1885 when she died leaving besides the deceased four small children. On June 17th 1886 he was again married to Mrs. Jane Gregor. Five years later he moved with his family to his late home in Johnsfield and settled on a new farm almost in the heart of a great forest, without roads and with but few neighbors, yet he lived to see the wild forest turned into fertile farms; to be surrounded by kind neighbors and friends and to help build some of the finest roads we have in the county. He was one of the best-known men in this section of the county, a man who had the respect of all who became well acquainted with him. Deceased had been ailing for a long time with ailments contracted while in the army for which he was drawing a pension, but they were not considered dangerous, and he was only confined to his bed four days when death came to his relief, the result of a complication of diseases. The funeral which was very large was held on Sunday at 1:30 o'clock from his late home and at 2:30 o'clock P.M. from the Standish M. E. church of which he was a very highly respected member, the pastor, Rev. D. H. Campbell officiating, The interment was in the Woodmere cemetery. Deceased leaves to mourn besides a loving wife, seven children."
