reared on the home farm and his educational advantages were those afforded in
the common schools of the locality and period. He has no brothers and his only
sister still lives on the old homestead in Noble county. He continued farming
in Ohio until 1864, when he came to Wisconsin, arriving-in Richland county July
16, and locating in the little village of Excelsior, Richwood township, where
he became the owner of a gristmill, which he operated until 1872, when he sold
the property. He has also been continuously engaged in farming and stock-raising,
and is now the owner of a fine farm of 370 acres, having reclaimed much of his
land from the virgin forest and having made excellent improvements in the way
of buildings. He exercises his influence and franchise in support of the cause
of the Democratic party and he served as treasurer of his township for ten years,
ever having held the implicit trust and regard of the community in which he has
so long maintained his home. He and his wife are members of the Methodist church.
