His father then deeded him sixty acres of land in East River Township, where he now resides. He is using for a stable the original dwelling that was on the farm. In 1876 he moved from an adjoining farm a small frame building to take the place of the log cabin which had been his home; he remodeled and enlarged the building, and now has one of the neatest and most comfortable homes in this part of the county. As his means increased he invested in land, and now owns 180 acres under good cultivation. He is energetic and enterprising, and by fair dealing and integrity of character he has won the esteem and confidence of all who know him. In politics he ranks with the Democratic party.
