As a young man he also attended York College in Nebraska and was engaged in public school teaching for a short time. Due to the early death of his father, he remained at home with his mother during the time he was teaching.
On Aug. 12, 1914, he was married to Tena Wall, who had been reared in his home community at Henderson and whom he had known since early childhood. We began our married life at Henderson.
