The greater part of his life was spent in his native county and state, where he lived until 1871, when he moved to Morgan Co., Mo. Since then he has lived in this county, with the exception of a brief period when he lived in Moniteau county. In early life he united with the Mennonite church, and has since been an active member. He is the father of nine children, all of whom grew to manhood, and eight of whom survive him. The Versailles Leader says this of him: "His life was an open book. To bekind, charitable, hospitable and just with all men were cardinal principles of his life, and to him a sacred duty. The hungry never went unfed from his door, and to the distressed his home was a house of refuge. He was a member of the Mennonite church, and his whole life was characterized by moral and religious purity; and after a life full of years and good works, though humble, he goes hence from this probationary existence to that higher and purer life, leaving behind many who loved him." His remains were interred in Mt. Zion cemetery, where appropriate services were held by David Bowman and M. S. Moyer. Herald of Truth , Vol. XXIX, No. 21, November 1, 1892 page 334
