He was married on June 1, 1901, to Leah Wettlaufer and farmed successfully for many years at Philipsburg. Six years ago he disposed of the farm to his son, Clayton, and retired to Baden. In religion the deceased was a Lutheran and a faithful member of Zion Lutheran Church at Philipsburg and took active part in church work. Since residing in Baden he was also a member of the Lutheran church there.

      Besides his widow, he leaves in bereavement two sons, Nelson, in North Easthope, and Clayton, on the homestead, two daughters, (Ella), Mrs. Elmer Doering, of Philipsburg, and Viola, at home, two sisters, Mrs. Conrad Quehl and Mrs. John Heimpel, Wellesley.
