He served as Monroe County supervisor and held various other Monroe County positions throughout his life. He married Eliza Welch. They lived on the family farm in Exeter Township until the 1930's or early 1940's. They then moved to Monroe, but still owned the farm in Exeter. I believe that his son Ralph owned the farm until the 1940's, then he either sold it or lost it, it just depends to whom you speak.1. Elizabeth Dunn (8), born 3 Mar 1871, died 29 Sep 1964 2.
