He was engaged for years in farming, and when the Knox County Country Club was formed to establish grounds around Lake Bracken, he became associated with the work and had been engaged ever since.
He is survived by his wife, the former Eva Hutson; a son Phillip who resides on an adjoining farm; a daughter Mrs. Mildred Scroggy, of Maquon; a sister, Mary Snyder, of Minneapolis and a granddaughter, Phylis Smith. He was the survivor of seven brothers in his family.
