In the spring of 1866, owing to ill health of his family, he sold out and came to Muscoda and established his present business, and erected the building which he now occupies. In 1868, he built a warehouse, and, in 1871, an elevator; since that time, has engaged in grain and live-stock trade. In 1850, he married Miss Mary A.
