Of their nine children, seven still survive, namely: Eliza, Jane, James, Mary, John, Anthony and Ella. Eliza was married to Lewis Jarvais, who died about 1885 his widow now lives in Ontario. Ella married Menford Elliott, of Preston, Kingsbury County, South Dakota. The family moved to Renfrew County and lived there for some time.

The subject of this sketch came with his widowed mother to Clark County, Wisconsin, in 1883, settling on his present farm of 240 acres, most of which is improved. He has been engaged in logging camps most of his time since, but is now turning his attention to farming and stock-raising. Religiously he is a member of the Catholic Church, and politically a Republican, although in no sense of the word a politician.
