There he was baptized, instructed in the Lutheran doctrines and confirmed by Pastor Bohme. His vocational training was that of a mason. At the age of 17 he came to America and settled at first near Peoria, Illinois where he made his home with an uncle. Two years later he came to Lancaster County, Nebraska settling near Hickman. In 1877 he entered the estate of holy matrimony with Miss Dorothea Cruett, who followed him from Germany. This union remained childless. However, they believed that a home without a child is not complete. They adopted a daughter, who later married Ed Fix and now resides at Haxtun, Colorado. On September 8, 1910 his wife was called by death. Two years he spent with his sister, Mrs. Bartels in Lincoln. On September 25, 1912 he married Mrs. Henrietta Fangmeier of Kramer. This union was blessed with one daughter, who preceded her father into eternity shortly after her birth, April 25, 1914. From 1912 to 1915 he resided on a farm near Kramer. One year he lived in Kramer, moving to Crete, April 7, 1916.

"Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! / I too with life must waken; / Endless joy my Savior gives; / Shall my courage then be shaken? / Shall I fear? or could the head rise and leave His members dead?"
