John developed an eighty acre farm in Echo, Antrim, Michigan, of which sixty acres was cultivated. The land had to be cleared first of heavy timber. They grew wheat, oats and hay and had an orchard for apples and other fruits. John had twenty head of cattle and a considerable amount of Poland China Swine.
