Married to Ann Martha Severance.
To their union was born 2 children:
Cora Belle Call and Catherine L Call.
Joseph was a leading resident of Franklin, Merrimack, New Hampshire and dealt largely in cattle.
After attending the common schools for the usual period, Joseph, at the age of seventeen, began to work as a farm assistant in this locality. When twenty years old, he engaged in the cattle business, which was thereafter his chief occupation. He became one of the best known drovers in that part of the State. For many years he was an extensive buyer of cattle, sheep, and hogs, which he shipped to Brighton, Middlesex, Massachusetts. He was unusually successful. Some years prior he settled at the homestead. He owned about four hundred acres of land, and at the time of his decease he was one of the largest general farmers in Franklin, Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Politically, Joseph always supported the Democratic party; but in 1896 he voted for McKinley and the gold standard.
He rendered valuable service to the town as a Selectman for two years. The family was connected with the Grange in Hill, Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Both Joseph and Ann attended the Christian Church.
