When an infant his parents moved to Junction City, Kansas, where he resided until the age of 22 years, when he came to Wyoming remaining here until the time of his death, which was July 26, 1909. At the age of 20 years he united with the Catholic church and never joined any other denomination. He was married to Miss Mary Pinkerton in 1890 and there were born two daughters, Mary Elizabeth, aged 18, and Frances Alice, aged 16, who with his wife all survive him. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Mary Davin, of Junction City, Kansas, eight brothers and six sisters, all residing near Junction City.
