He came west in the early day and has been a pioneer in different parts of this state, formerly living in this community. He was married to Miss Rebecca Parsons in 1881.
He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife, four sons, Herbert in Iowa, Ray in Holt county this state, Elmer at Laird, Colorado, and Harry and his only daughter who reside at home at Laird, Colorado. An older daughter, Mrs. Inez Humphrey passed away last week at Mountain View, Missouri, making a double grief to this bereaved family.
