When 17 years of age he went to Northern Michigan, where he spent a number of years as a pioneer of that country. While there he and Mary Ann Dettwiler were united in marriage. This union was blessed with 2 sons and 7 daughters. Soon after their marriage they united with the Mennonite Church and were faithful until death. He became an interested and faithful worker in the Sunday school there. In the spring of 1901 he with his wife and 9 children moved to Alberta, where he was also a pioneer. At the place where he settled he started a post office and store, which became known as Mayton. It was through his efforts that a church was established at this place. In the spring of 1924 they moved to Sheridan, Oreg., where he resided till death. His loving companion preceded him in death 7 years. One son and 2 daughters, also 6 grandchildren preceded him.
