He then went to Black River Falls, operating a tin and hardware shop, where he remained until 1871, when his stock burned. He then moved to Greenwood, where he had a hardware store in the building now owned by Schillers.

In 1868 he married Miss Emeline A. Bran of Black River Falls. At the time the family resided here they had two children, Viola and Freddie.
