His companion passed on to that Heaven of rest ten years ago. In 1872 he moved with his family to Ray County, Missouri. Later he moved to Vernon County and in 1880 he moved to Cedar County and settled at his present homestead near Jerico Springs, where he reared his family to manhood and womanhood, and saw them all safely in the fold of his church, and three of them are ministers in the church.
