He and two companions were the only survivors of an Indian massacre in which thirty men were killed. He came to Hamburg in 1877.

On June 17, 1880 he was married at Elmo, Mo [Nodaway county] to Mrs Adeline Bailey Wheeler and to this union ten children were born: Mrs. Emma Knight, Malvern; Mrs. Flossie Culley,
