He was born in Center County, Pa., June 27th, 1826. When he was about 17 years old he went to Ohio to live and in April, 1846, he came to Cedar County, Iowa. September 28th, 1848, he was married to Keziah Elizabeth Thompson. There were born to them four children- two of whom are living. In 1852 he went to California returning in about two years. With the exception of a few years-from '77 to '86, during which time he lived in Muscatine county-he has resided in this county for over forty years. In the fall of 1886 he came to his brother Henry's, where he enjoyed a good home and most excellent care. He was one of ten children, of whom six are living-three brothers and three sisters. He was blessed with both a praying mother and a praying wife, yet, notwithstanding the many helps to induce him to lead a christian life, he had failed to become a servant of God, or lay up treasures in heaven. When, in his last sickness, he came to face death, with no preparation for that solemn event, he was awakened to an awful sense of unreadiness and under direction and counsel, he turned to plead for his soul. He seemed to get relief by trusting in the blood of Christ to save a poor dying sinner. For the failure of his life he blamed no one but himself. His funeral services were conducted April 14th, at his brother's residence in Tipton, by Rev. W.F. Barclay, who delivered a discourse from the text:"Prepare to meet thy God," (Amos 12-4) and his body was interred in the Masonic Cemetery. Just as the casket was about to be lowered into the tomb, his only living daughter arrived from Muscatine county, and she was permitted to look once more upon the face of her father.
