At the close of the war he moved to Dublin, Ohio, where he was married to Miss Lucinda Butcher, to which union were born 3 children: a daughter, who died at the age of 12 years, Ben who lives in Valley Falls (Kansas) and Cliscoe, who is known by the name of “Spank,” living in Topeka (Kansas). Of his immediate family, the 2 sons and wife are left to mourn his death. In 1884 he moved from Ohio to Valley Falls living on a farm east of town for several years when he moved to town to live. He was a gentleman of the old school and will be missed by his large circle of friends.
