Being busily engaged int he grain businesss about 1908 he left the farm and has resided in Kingman a number of years. Soon after coming to Indiana he placed his membership in the old Scotts Prairie CHurch and remained steadfast in the faith until his death. Membership was also taken in the Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star, and in the teachings of these orders he took a delight. His family relationship was always happy.
