General Notes: Husband - Joseph A. Shoff

---

He remained with his father until the age of twenty-six, work­ing on the farm, his education being obtained in the neighboring schools. He married and built a house on the old homestead and resided there two years, continuing to farm the land, but in 1884 he moved to Ansonville and engaged in mercantile business with C. D. McMurray, under the firm name of McMurray & Co. After eighteen months he sold his interest to his partner, and moved to Madera, where he purchased a lot and built a residence. In the fall of 1885 he bought a store from B. & S. Whiteside, and conducted the business until December 3, 1893, when he was burned out. He held insurance upon the property, however, and at once resumed business in the James Kirk building. He and his wife were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
