He was married In 1885 to Miss Clara Hogan. They have three children, and they are members of the "One Body." He studied vocal music under Profs. F. L. Elland, J. E. Thomas and S.J. Oslin, and for several years taught, with success. In 1904 he began preaching the Gospel, and has been very successful as an evangelist. He is now perfecting arrangements that will place him in the field for all his time, preaching where he may be called–or where he finds people willing to receive the Gospel." - Nichol, Harriet, "Gospel Preachers in Texas and Oklahoma" (1911).
