He was married to Elizabeth Fry on Dec. 9, 1897. To this union were born 11 children of which two, Barbara and Roy, died in infancy. Mamie died as a result of a car-train accident in 1930, and Katie, wife of Sam R. Schrock, died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1934.

As a young man he accepted Christ as his Saviour and was a faithful member of the Yoder Mennonite Church at the time of his departure.

For nearly two years he had been living with his daughter Mary. He will long be remembered as a kind father with a concern for all, a friend of children, a helpful neighbor, and having a special love for singing. He expressed keen interest in the spiritual needs of his family and others around him.
