In the year 1899 he sold his property interests in Wisconsin, and in the spring of 1900 he purchased and moved onto a farm near the Burr Oak Church in Burr Oak Township.
In 1902 he married Mary J. Peck, and soon afterward he purchased a home in Osage, where he lived except for the eight years he spent east of Osage and the last four years, during which he has been at his son's home.
Those who are left to mourn their loss are his sons, Clinton, of Osage; Percy, of Estherville; a daughter, Mrs. W. R. Galley, of Kenyon, Minnesota. There are fifteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and a host of friends.
