for a time at Center Point, In 1879 he returned to his native state and
county, where, on the 9th day of April, 1884, he married Miss Susan
Walter. For eight years after returning to Pennsylvania he worked at

elected judge of the court for Larimer county, then moved to Fort Collins,
the county seat, and was re-elected in 1886, serving two terms. In 1890
