He took up farming for himself and followed that occupation until he moved into this city. In April, 1862, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Mahoney in Galesburg. To this union twelve children were born, six of whom are left to mourn his loss. These are Thomas, Jr., Morris T., William and Charles of this city. Mrs.. M. Fitzgerald of Chicago, and Mrs..
