He and his wife were the parents of eight children, namely: Waldo, Herbert, John, Gifford, Nellie, Carrie, Laura and Addison. The subject's father died in 1892 and his brothers and sisters are all at home with the mother.

The farm comprises one hundred and forty-two acres, of which all but ten are under the plow, all of the improvements having been made by the subject's father and the family. The property embraces an elegant residence, large and commodious barns and other outbuildings and on the place is conducted a diversified system of agriculture, all of the crops common to this locality being raised here. The farm is located in the southern part of Lot 32, the city of being in plain view across the harbour, the perspective being one of unexcelled beauty and grandeur.
