Besides his farming interests, he was for many years engaged in the milling business. In December, 1865, he married Lydia A. Choffin, daughter of Solomon Choffin, of Highland County. This union has been blessed with six children, four of whom are now living, viz.: Ollie, Rosa, Florence and Mary. She died in April, 1878. He again married, in January, 1882, Lydia E. Baldwin, daughter of Jonathan Baldwin, whose sketch appears in this work.
