    Notes:

    According to the 1880 Federal Censuses he is living in McWilliams, NE with his wife, sons, and mother and father in law on a farm.

    According to the 1860 Federal Censuses he is living in Barre, WI with his wife Polly on a farm.

    "He spent his boyhood on his father's farm and attended the common school during the winter months, and later worked as a farm hand on the various farms in his neighborhood. At the age of twenty he went to La Crosse county, Wis., and purchasing eighty acres of land, carried on general farming for some years. After disposing of this land he moved to Blue Earth county, Minn., and four years later we find him in Otoe county, Neb., where he improved a farm and continued farming until 1893, when he disposed of his holdings and moved to Riverside county, Cal., to enjoy the comforts and prosperity of a favored location of which he had heard naught but the highest praise." History of Riverside County, CA Biographies"

    In 1881, he donated a cornfield just west of the Little Nehama River for the town site of Talmage, NE. He hurried to get the corn crop harvested as the German immigrants from Missouri were eager to survey and plan their settlement.

    He owned the first newspaper in Talmage, NE, the Talmage Tribune.

    He was a prominent orange grower in CA.
