Later they established a farm home south of Sabetha in the Harmony neighborhood, from there they retired to a home in Sabetha on East Main. His wife passed away April 17, 1927, also preceding him in death were four children, Charles, who died in infancy, Mary, Edward and Philip. Surviving to mourn his loss are one daughter, Lydia, Mrs. Sol Wenger, and one son, David; one brother, Gottlieb Brunner of Oneida, 12 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
