While young he started for this country. He lived for a long time on the Perley farm between Woodstock and Houlton. He worked hard and raised a large family, having been twice married. For the past month he suffered so much that he longed to leave this world. He was tenderly cared for by his son who lives on the homestead, his son's wife and the only remaining single daughter.
