He after-wards took up a homestead in Henry County, Iowa and lived there sixteen years. In 1860 he was married to Miss Caroline Reed of that state. She was born in Ohio in 1837. They moved to Oregon in May 1875, and spent several years in the Willamette Valley, coming to Hood River in 1883, when they purchased the home place of Hon. E.L. Smith. A few years later they moved to Tillamook and from there to Salem, Oregon where he died in November 1894. Mrs. Morton is living in Salem and will be seventy nine years of age in June 1916.
