there, leaving three children.

In 1895 he married Martha Adland of North Cape, WI.  In 1867 they went
to Story Co., IA, Crookston and then Twin Valley.  In 1909 he got a call
to the Silver Lake Church.  About a year later he was taken ill.  He partly
recovered, but in October suffered a stroke and died December 28, 1910.

He is survived by his wife and nine children.  Fourteen pastors took
part in an impressive service at Silver Lake.
