In 1859 he came into Deer Lodge Co, M.

Here he remained from 1864 till 1868 and then went to California. After spending one winter there our subject returned to Utah, where he bought a band of cattle, which he brought into Deer Lodge county, where he opened another farm and where he remained until 1874. He then came to the Dearborn river, herding cattle and horses, remaining there until 1881, at which time he took up his present ranch on the Teton, where he is now residing with his family, consisting of his wife and six children.
