He came to America with his parents in 1873 and settled in Walcott, Scott county and after a few years residence at that place, came to Bennett, where he lived until the year of 1905, when on account of poor health he went to a different climate.

In 1886 he was married to Doris Brocks, now deceased. To this union was born three sons, namely, Chas. of Denver and Wm. and Albert of Bennett, who were all present at the funeral.
