He came to Iowa in the spring of 1906 and lived in the vicinity of Grinnell until 1919. He was united in marriage to Vera E. Murray, January 31, 1912, and they made their home near Grinnell until the spring of 1919, when they moved to Minnesota, where they have since resided. To this union three children were born, Vera Carol, age 9; Dorothy Helen, age 6; George William, age 5.
