In 1851 they moved to Indiana, and there for five years he drove a stage coach between Logansport and South Bend, meeting with many interesting adventures. Then he took up farming in Fulton County in that state, and followed that occupation there for nearly a quarter of a century. He built up a good farm, took an active part in neighborhood affairs, and he and his wife were among the most highly regarded people in the community. He served in the Civil War in Company A of an Indiana regiment. In 1880 he came to Barron County and bought 40 acres in section 5, Dallas Township. But his health had already begun to fail, and he died a few months later, Jan. 4, 1881. His wife now lives in a pleasant little home on the farm where she settled so many years ago. In the family there were eight children: John W., Lydia, Margaret, Hattie, Samuel E. and Agnes, all deceased, and Frank E. and Perry V. of Dallas Township. --Transcribed from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H.
