He entered a claim in the new purchase and planted a crop. His oxen having strayed away he started in pursuit of them and on his return found that his crop had been eaten up. Discouraged, he traded his claim for a horse and moved to the SMITH homestead. For the first forty acres he gave in payment his team. Hard was the struggle to get a start but by persevering industry and good management he at length overcame all obstacles, and at his death was a well-to-do citizen of the community, owning a fine farm of two hundred and sixty acres upon which were many good improvements that greatly enhanced its value In politics he was first a Whig and later a Republicina His death occured September 1, 1876 and his wife who was a consistant christian lady was called to her reward June 27, 1888 having survived her husband by twelve years.
