  •Note:
  By the time he was 12 years old, the family had moved to Alburg, Vt, and by 1870 were living in Mooers, NY. His mother had died and his oldest sister took on the role of housekeeper. He learned the stone-mason trade from his father and probably also worked at farm work for neighbors. He was not a big man, being of medium height with a fair English Complexion, blue eyes, a light, (probably red) hair. He was very firm in his ideas of how the home should be managed and how his children should behave, so much so, in fact, that most of the boys left home early.
  John and Adeline lived in Belmont until about 1900, and all of the children except the last one were born there. Then he bought a house on the Pikeville Rd in Burke, and Allie was born there. Soon after this, Adeline became ill with tuberculosis and the family moved back to Belmont, living in a house owned by the Williamsons.
  John eventually hired a housekeeper named Hattie Trussel, who was a widow with a boy named Robert just a little older than Allie. Allie and Robert grew up as brothers.
  In about 1916 he moved to Brandon. Mrs Trussel found it too lonely there and left to live with one of her sons. She became dissatisfied with that circumstance. John and she married and lived in a small house on the Perkins Rd (Brandon).He lived there until his death. He left the house to Allie.
