On March 2, 1869, he was married to Johanne Petersen of Aadalen, Norway. Immediately after their marriage, they immigrated to America and located in Rock Township, Mitchell County, Iowa.

Since coming to this community, the departed has always been an active member of the Rock Creek Lutheran Church. He has been an exceptionally strong, healthy, and industrious man, enjoying good health until taken ill about six weeks ago.
