His early life was spent at his birthplace. When a young man he came to the United States where he was employed in the lumber mills and the 'Squires Farm. After several years stay in this country, he again returned to Canada where he was engaged in farming at Wallaceburg, Ont. until about 10 years ago when he was forced to retire on account of ill health. Since that time he has made his home with his neices, Mrs. A.J. Parker of Ravenna and Mrs I.C. Neff, of Casnovia.
