There were then but sevenfamilies in the gore. By industry and perseverance he secured a comfortablehome, where for 67 years he lived. He possessed a strong constitution, was
temperate in all his habits, respected and honored by all who knew him.
Several of his brothers located near him, in town. Among them was:
Abner Willey, who, for more than 50 successive years, lived upon the same
homestead. He was noted for his benevolence and integrity. Many of the early
pioneers, borne down with misfortune, had many reasons for blessing him; for
none went from his house unaided.
