They worked early and late and in due time built up a fine farm, with a good dwelling and substantial buildings thereon, and today they and their families are numbered the representative people of the county. While developing their farming the early years they used to work out summers to earn money to on, while they cleared the farm in the winter. They followed general farming, their cattle being of the Holstein breed and of good grade. They are sober, industrious citizens, and take a lively interest in whatever seems to be for the betterment of their county.
