opportunities were limited up to his majority, but after that he
attended school, and being studious, he has now a good education.

land nicely situated and well improved.  The first forty acres he
paid for by working by the day and month.  His marriage occurred
January 7, 1875, to Martha C. Reed, a native of Missouri.  Four
children have been born to them, viz.. Eda R.. Nellie M., Julius
