He received his education in the rural schools of Cedar county, the Mt. Vernon public school and attended Cornell college. He was a member of the Rochester Masonic lodge and the South Bethel Methodist church.

He is survived by his widow, three sisters, Mrs. Hattie Ford and Mrs. Edna Palanza, both of Inglewood, Calif.; Mrs. Ethel Wilson, Mt. Vernon; three step children, Albert Albaugh, Clarence and Arthur Albaugh and Mrs. Edith Ford, both of Tipton. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers.
