In 1870, he met with an unfortunate accident. While out on a chicken hunt, in taking a gun from the wagon, with the muzzle pointed toward him, the gun accidently fired and the charge struck him near the wrist joint of his right arm. The wound made amputation of the arm between the elbow and the wrist necessary.
He was shown in the 1870, 1880, 1900 census, living in Spring Grove, Green Co, WI.
