He came west in 1872 and traveled extensively through the western country before settling on a ranch near this city in 1884, since which time he has been a resident of Adams county.

He is survived by three brothers and three sisters; George, of Newberg Oregon; Miss Lydia Kaufman and Mrs. O. L. Langford, both of Newberg, Oregon Mrs. Wm. C. Hill, Terrie Haute, Indiana; Ed Kaufman at Lewiston, Montana and Henry Kaufman of Ritzville.
