He rented a tract of land near Sioux City, in Woodbury county, operating the place for several years, and then moved to Plymouth county. There he spent the remainder of his life, contributing his share toward the development of its rich agricultural resources. As a young man he enlisted in Company I, of the Forty-second Wisconsin Infantry, and fought for the Union during the last year of the Civil war.
