When he was 19 he married Mary Henrietta Bennett of Geneva at the Baptist Church Dec. 18, 1890. She was a niece of Dr. Mathew Bennett of Watkins with whom she lived for a few years. During that period he taught her to give readings at the various churches in Watkins.

Like his father he did not live to see his little family grow up, the youngest being 2 ½ and the eldest 15 years old. He passed on Sept. 10, 1910. All the village stores were closed during his funeral. He was a member of the Methodist Church and held the highest offices in the Order of Odd Fellows and Red Men Lodges. His wife survived him 40 years. During that time she was very busy trying to care for six children but she always missed him. She always kept a letter he wrote her saying she was the prettiest girl in Rochester. She died Aug. 24th, 1950. They had seven children. Ethel B. born Feb. 22, 1892, died Nov. 28, 1893.
