About three years ago, feeling he could no longer follow his life's vocation, farming, he removed to this village, where he has since resided (approx.1899) During his long and busy life he has been a useful citizen; not caring for the jostle and hurry of the world; choosing rather to quietly enjoy his home and loved ones. He was most zealous in caring for his family; a good neighbor, a useful citizen and an honorable man meeting the vicissitudes of life manfully, and at its close having the consolation of a well spent life.
