The first year here he was employed by a man named Conrad in clearing a tract of land in Weston Township and he also worked several winters in the pineries. He settled upon his present farm of 280 acres in 1862 it was then all in heavy timber 100 acres is now cleared. A portion of his livestock consists of Cotswold sheep and graded short-horn cattle. His brother George, of Neillsville, settled near him at the same time, and two years later his brother Jacob, who died June 7, 1888.
