He was married in 1895 [to Emma McClintock] and was the father of four children, three of whom died in infancy and the other Mrs. Mildred Hubbard, died recently in California, leaving two sons, Bill and Norman, aged fifteen and twelve years. He is survived by his two grandsons, two sisters in Montana, and a niece Mrs. Partridge of Alliance.

In earlier life he had been a railroad man and served for a time as roadmaster. He moved to this community in 1919 and farmed as long thereafter as he was able.

His former neighbors all have a kindly word for him.
