I was born in Rutland, Wisconsin on April 18, 1857 and died February 26, 1927. I married Miss Philena Chidester in December, 1885. We took the noon train to Stoughton and then went on to Nebraska to spend a few weeks with relatives. In 1888, the spring we lived near became known as Anthony Creek and Anthony Springs. At one time there was a village of 100 wigwams near there. We lived in Rutland until 1915 and then moved to Madison where I held a position at the bureau of plant industry at the Forest Products Laboratory.
We had 2 sons, David and Herman.
