He was born near Davenport, Iowa, in 1857, and moved to Harlan, Iowa, in 1880. He was engaged in stock business in Davenport, Iowa. He was married in De Witt, Clinton Co., Iowa, in 1880, and has one child - his little daughter Jennie. He is the only one who manufactures furniture on the Western slope. His is, in reality, a great enterprise, and he is doing, as he deserved to do, a lucrative wholesale business. He makes a specialty of all kinds of tables, cupboards, safes, wardrobes and washstands.
