They came with their parents to Greene County in 1850, where the father died in 1870, followed by his widow five years later. They were the parents of ten children, seven yet living, and one (Samuel) is appropriately mentioned elsewhere in this work. The three brothers whose names form the subject of this notice all live together on their large farm. James is the only one married, his wife being Miss Margaret E. Geddes. Their nuptials were celebrated in 1861, and to their union six children have been born —Charles A., Elizabeth J., George D., Samuel, Ella J. and Carrie E.
