In the year 1882 he was united in marriage with Miss Bertha Ehlke, in Karnitz. Shortly after his marriage he came to America, and settled in Ottawa, Ill. Here he rented a farm for several year. Then in 1895 he moved to Neilsville, Clark county, with his family. Here he lived but a short time and then bought a farm eight miles from Neilsville. On his farm he, however, fought with adverse circumstances, for the next year his wife died, 1896, and the following year his father. In 1898 he himself was takes with rheumatism. As things still went backwards, he sold his farm and moved to Winneconne. He, however, was never able to do hard work. For a few years he was janitor in the west side public school. A few years later he started a small book store in this village, but he was only able to keep it for a short time, as he was taken sick with facial neuralgia. He was taken to Milwaukee and underwent an operation which proved successful but for a short time, for three months later he was compelled to go to bed. He never recovered since. He died August 30, shortly after seven o'clock. The cause of his death was a chronic disease of long standing. The mourners are: The two daughters, Mrs. Robert Umland and Alma; four sons, Emil, Henry, Carl and Frederic; two sisters and many other relatives.
