Later, he bought a tract of forty acres in Section 17, Lynn Township, the land being covered with pine stumps and timber, and away from any road. He had already married Mary Grose, a native of Germany, and for the accommodation of himself and wife, built a good frame house. Since then he has cleared his land and increased the size of his farm to 200 acres, having also built a barn 38 by 72 feet in size. He keeps a good grade of cattle, as well as blooded Percheron horses. Nine children have been born to him and his wife: Emil, Walter, Cleo, Martin, Martha, Gertie, Lydia, Aggie and Lottie.
