He was united in marriage to Mary C. Graham, on September 29, 1869. They were the parents of 6 children.

When a young man he moved to Dallas County, Iowa, with his parents, and lived north of Dexter for a short time.

He united with the Presbyterian Church at Earlham Feb. 16th, 1873 on profession of faith and was an active worker in the church until declining health caused him to give up active work in the church, but he never gave up his belief in God, and lived a good Christian life to the end.

He had been a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge at Earlham and thought a great deal of the work and Odd Fellows in general, and worked in the lodges at Earlham and Adel until his health failed. On May 27th he had a stroke of paralysis, that caused his death.

He leaves to mourn their loss, a loving wife, and five children as follows, Viola, Mrs. Charles Wright and George W. of Adel; Edwin V. of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. Everett McKibben of Earlham. Three grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. John Burch of Winterset, and 2 brothers, W. E. Lee of Adel, and Joe Lee of Yale, besides a host of relatives and friends.

Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian Church by Rev. Demaree, and after a brief service at the grave directed by the Oddfellow Lodge, interment was made in McKibben cemetery.
