When the subject of this sketch was but a lad of six years, his parents left their Ohio home and came to Iowa and located on a farm one mile north of the present town of Tilton. He assisted in the work on the farm until 1884 when the Northwestern railroad was built and the town of Tilton laid out. He then moved to the new town and since had been engaged in mercantile pursuits in addition to looking after his farm interests. In 1899 he was appointed postmaster there and ever since has filled the position. He was married to Miss Mary E. McBurney on Dec. 24, 1868. Eight children were born to this union, six daughters and two sons. Source: Obituary
