The following excerpt is from his biography published in the, "Portrait and Biographical Album of Linn Co. Iowa, Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1887, pages 592 and 593. "The subject of our sketch was the ninth child of his parent's family. He was reared in his native state and reached a fair education in the public schools. In the meantime he assisted his father in the labors of the farm, and when eighteen years of age, shipped as a sailor before the mast on a merchant vessel, The Esmerelda, and in the short space of eighteen months became the First Mate of the vessel. He followed the sea for three years. . . After these years of seafaring life, his friends prevailed upon him to quit the ocean. His rovings, however, were not ended, and he determined upon a visit to the western country. He crossed the Middle States by the common mode of travel at that day, and was ferried over the Father of Waters, landing in the Hawkeye State in 1855. He located for a short time in Marion, and then resolved to go to California via the Isthmus. He there engaged in lumbering and mining combined for the space of six years, when he returned to Linn County and purchased the farm which he now owns and occupies. There was a small frame house upon it. He is now the possessor of 260 acres, all improved and inclosed with fences. . ."
