We are told he "Was an active and well-known farmer and stock raiser in vicinity of Rippey, Greene Co., Ia., for many years. He was a physically powerful man, very energetic and hard working. His sturdiness physically, as well as a citizen of the community, is well represented by the monument over his grave in Rippey Cemetery, Block 8, Lot 22, Rippey Cemetery, Rippey, Ia.[RGrCem] "Bluff, Outspoken, but Kindly Uncle Dan." On the 1920 census, we find Ethel, a widow, age 32, born in Ia. - as was her parents - with Wesley, age 5 . She indicates no form of employment. On the 1930 census, age 42 and a widow, she continues in Rippy. she owns a home worth $1200 and does have a radio. She is a manager of a beauty parlor.
