Later he followed agricultural pursuits in Ashland county, and was one of the successful men of that place. Later in life he came to Iowa, following the arrival of his son here. He took up his abode in Henry county soon after the Civil war, and purchased a farm in New London township, where he made his home until his death, his wife also passing away on that farm.
