At the age of five years he, with his parents, moved to White Oak Springs, Wis. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in defense of his country’s flag and fought for the integrity of the Union. He served three years and was honorably discharged at the end of his term of enlistment.

The deceased was one of the prominent and respected citizens of this county, and at one time was honored by his fellow citizens with an election to the office of sheriff for two terms, a position he held to the satisfaction of all and with credit to himself. Since then he has filled other offices of trust and responsibility.
