      John was a big man. He farmed, but did Blacksmithing on the side. In 1900 they moved to Elizabeth, Illinois, where he had a Blacksmithing Shop first on Route 20 and then later on Catlin Street. He also built a large home on Catlin Street. He was a good carpenter. He built a large barn for his brother Martin, on his farm near Derinda Center, Illinois. His sons, Joe and John worked with him in the Blacksmith Shop before they were married.
