His wife was the former Miss Macinda Barnaby. To this union were born nine daughters, two of whom died in infancy.

    The remaining seven are as follows; Mrs. Dave Eberhard of Jerico, Mrs. Ed Hendrix of Nevada, Mrs. E. E. Wallace, Mrs. George Busse, Mrs. Will Inman all of Seattle, Mrs. O Pulis of Tacoma and Mrs. Roy McCurdy of Zanesville, Ohio.
