In 1853 he came to the country sojourning for two years in Michigan and Illinois. In 1856 he came to Iowa county entering into the holy estate of matrimony with Miss Barbara Stolz. Forty-nine years they shared the joy and sorrow of life. They were among the first settlers of this part of the country and consequently they were among the founders of the present Evangelical Lutheran St. Johns congregation. The departed father was an upright christian, and for that very reason a good citizen, church member and neighbor. October 16th, he was stricken with paralysis and was totally helpless from that time on until his Lord bid him come home. He was buried, Wednesday in St. Johns' cemetery, which he presented to the congregation in former years. He leaves to mourn his loss and aged widow, one son, one daughter and 12 grandchildren.
