He had lived with his parents all of his life, and made his home with his mother until about four weeks ago when he took sick and had to be hospitalized. More than (?) years ago, he began his career as mason, working with his father. He continued in this business until he took sick.

He is now survived by his aged mother and four brothers, Arie of Hawarden, Ed of Sioux Center, William of Ireton and Henry also of Sioux Center.

His father preceded him in death on May 8, 1944.
