"He was married in October 1880, to Miss Anna B. Bradrick, a daughter of Rev. I. A. Bradrick, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and by this union three children were born, two now living, aged seven and three years respectively, who with their mother survive. In our half century journey on this earth, never have we seen a husband and wife live so devotedly for each other as the deceased and his now broken hearted wife. Love was supreme with them, hence their home was what 'two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one,' could possibly make it here on this earth."
