In August, 1864, he came to Canada and had his home with his uncle, John S. Brubacher (Cooper Brubacher), by whom he was engaged for six or seven months, thence he engaged himself to his cousin, Michael B. Brubacher, where he remained for some time. His next place was with his uncle, Abraham Brubacher, thence with Christian Martin. From Christian Martin's he went to Joseph Weber's where he remained for six years.
