In 1880 they moved back, settling on a farm four and a half miles northeast of Arcadia, where they remained until 1904. They then moved to Arcadia where they resided until the death of his wife on June 10, 1914. He made his home alone until about a year ago when he moved to his son's home where he died after an illness of about a week. He leaves to mourn his death three children, one son and two daughters, namely: Mrs. William H. Meinke, of Friend, Neb., Alfred Anderson and Mrs. George Grimsman, both of Arcadia.
