At the age of twenty-one he came to the United States and lived near Dalton, Ohio, for six years. From Ohio he moved to Harper, Kans., where he united in marriage to Lena Gerber March 26, 1893. She preceded him in death nearly seventeen years ago. As a child he was brought up in a Lutheran home and became a member of that church. Upon coming to the United States, he became a member of the Sonnenberg Mennonite Church in Ohio. When he moved to Harper, Kans., he transferred his membership to Pleasant Valley Mennonite Church to which he remained faithful until death. The children are grateful to God for parents who have lived a life of simple trust and faith in Him. He leaves to mourn his sudden passing 6 daughters (Lavina-Mrs. A. P. Hartzler, Wichita, Kans.; Lillie-Mrs. John Roupp, Hesston, Kans.; Della-Mrs. Ura Hostetler, Harper, Kans.; Dessie-Mrs. Henry Headrick, La Junta, Colo.; Ruth-Mrs. Amra H. Hostetler, Harper, Kans.; Rena-Mrs. Vernon Glassburn, Harper, with whom he made his home), 30 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.

There were 4 brothers and 3 sisters in his family. On the day he took sick he received a letter translated from his sister Marie. He never regained consciousness to hear the letter read.
