After he had reached his majority he came to the West, and for a time made his home in Wadsworth, this county, then came to Chatham. Soon after coming he purchased the farm he lived on, and was united in marriage to Miss Martha Robinson. Three children were born to them, Christina, Helen and James. Helen dying just as she was budding into womanhood, the others reside here in town (Chatham). At the age of thirty he united with the Congregational church here and has ever been an active Christian man. His life has been an active one, always ready to help a neighbor, a kind husband and indulgent father, spending his life for the good of others. He was permitted to live to a ripe old age being eighty-one years, and in the end quietly passed away without but a few days of suffering. He was taken sick Sunday the 17, and died Wednesday morning. The funeral services were at his late home Friday conducted by Rev. Chapin of Litchfield, Rev. Jones being away from home.
