He moved with his family to Emmet County when four years of age and received his education in the county schools here. Prior to entering the service he had worked as call boy for the Rock Island and also had been employed as a lather.

He is survived by three brothers, Joseph of Fairmont, William of Estherville, John of Cedar Rapids; and five sisters, Mrs. Wallace (Mary) Lynch and Mrs. Lucille Reinhardt, both of Estherville; Mrs. Roy (Margaret) Bartleman of St. James, Minn.; Mrs. Jonathan (Catherine) Tucker, Salt Lake City, Utah; and Mrs. Joe (Elizabeth) O’Brien, Emmetsburg; and a number of nieces and nephews.
