Moved from Pennsylvania to Iowa in 1857, spending first 2 years in Dubuque and came to Boone Township, Dallas County in 1858. Here he purchased raw land and opened up a farm. He owned three hundred and sixty acres and had a well improved and valuable place, becoming one of the prosperous and progressive agriculturists of Dallas county. For many years he was active in the work of the farm but in his last days the labors of the fields were left to others.
