He was born October 1834 Erie County Buffalo NY. He married Henriette "Harriet" Pider on Jan 3, 1860, in Lyndon, Wisc. He died on April 16, 1912 age 78 in Waldo, Wisc. He is buried in the Onion River Cemetery there.
Henriette Pider was born Dec 25, 1836 in Hesse-Darmstadt Germany- Gross Umstadt. She died on Jan 4th 1927 age 91 years in Waldo, Wisc. Her parents were Johann "John" Pider and Wilhelmina. The family immigrated in 1843.
Their children were:
