1830, and was married June 2, 1850, to Clarissa, eldest daughter of John

the north-east quarter of Section 34, erected a dwelling, and in April,
1862, he moved into it.  He remained on his farm until 1872, when he
removed to Hesperia, where he has since resided.  He has taken quite an
active interest in the political questions of the day; has been elected
and served three terms as county surveyor, and has acted for years as
supervisor of the township.  He was treasurer of Greenwood, in 1864-'65,

continuously to the present.  He has held a commission as notary public
for fourteen years.  His family consists of Sarah H., Maria L., Eugenia
