He was honorably discharged July 19, 1866, and returned to his home in Ohio, where he resided a few years, after which he made a tour of the western country, returning again to Ohio, where he resided until 1874. In that year he came to Iowa, locating in Poweshiek county, where he now resides. He was married January 27, 1876, to Miss Keziah A. *Morisson, of Jackson township. By this union they have had three children: Anna B., Edna and an infant.
