He went to Balgonie, Sask. in 1926 on a harvest excursion and decided to make his home on the prairies so he bought a farm. He married Flora Paul on January 20th, 1928.

He was a charter member of Grace Baptist Church at Davin, a church which he helped build, and a regular attender of Sunday School and Worship services. In 1958 he sold the farm and moved to Regina. It was at Regina where he helped to build the Faith Baptist Church of which he was a trustee, he took his work seriously. He was dependable and wanted work well done. He believed in tithing and for a number of recent years he gave 20% of his income to the Lord’s work.
