During all of that time, after he had come to man's estate, he was engaged in farming. He came to Nobles county in 1888, bought the land where he now lives, and has ever since made his home here. During his long residence in Worthington township he has held many offices. He has served on the township board, been road overseer and clerk of the school district.
