His discharge dates May 11, 1865. He was then at Meridian, Miss. He had no moneyed assistance in starting for himself, but now has accumulated a nice home of thirty-five acres, where his residence is located, in Bivinsville. He is a good workman and does all kinds of carpentering, and has been quite successful, considering his start. He was married November 14, 1867, to Miss Cloantha Gibson, of this county. These parents have one child—Mattie Lou. Both parents and child are members of the Christian Church. As a skilled workman he has few equals in the county.
