With but little advantage of securing an education and with time spent mainly at hard work on his father's farm, our subject passed his youth and early manhood. He was united in marriage August 24, 1854, with Elizabeth Spear, who bore him six children, of whom these are now living: Joseph L., who married Annie Jackson; William H., who married Ida Thomas; Mary E., who became the wife of Robert Ingle; Martha L. and David A.
