From a small company at first, this organization has grown until a large County Pioneer Association has been formed. Near the old homestead is located Evergreen Cemetery, which with his own hands he helped to lay out, beautify, and "fit", as he expressed it, for his "home". He died November 22, 1874 and took possession of that "home" in the cemetery whe...re his last wife in a few years more joined him.
