in 1848, and in 1849 came to Oshkosh [Winnebago County, Wisconsin]. In 1856 
he settled in Weyauwega, and went into the mercantile business for a year and 
a half. At the end of that time he and his father settled on 100 acres in 
Section 12, and they have since added forty acres to it. He was with Mr. 
HARDY in the mercantile business for two years. In 1870 he went to California 
and Oregon, with intention of locating there if he liked it, but returned to 
Waupaca County and clerked in New London [submitter assumes author means New

quite old and infirm. His father was born in 1808, and his mother in 1804.
