went to live on the farm of his uncle, Samuel Eldred, and remained with him 
till twenty-one years of age.  He subsequently bought a farm in Medina 
County, Ohio, where he became acquainted with Lydia M. Hosmer, to whom he 
was married April 13, 1823. In 1842 they moved to Franklin Township, De Kalb 
County, and bought a farm, on which they lived till 1859, when they moved to 
Butler.  He was a liberal, whole-souled man, and his many deeds of kindness 
and benevolence were not duly appreciated while he was living, many of them 
being unknown, save to the parties interested. He was a member of the 
Masonic fraternity.  He died June 27, 1874.  His widow still lives in 
Butler, loved and esteemed by all who know her.  They had a family of eleven 
children, seven of whom are living---William H., Mary J., Laura A., Orson

the age of twenty-four years, leaving two children.  She was the wife of

and now a stockman of Bozeman, M.T.
