On this he settled with his young wife and began the task of ditching and otherwise improving and perfecting his home. In 1893 he sold his farm and bought his present place of 160 acres. Here he has a comfortable country home and is surrounded by an abundance of the world's goods. In 1875 Mr. Euliss was united in marriage to Mary Hornaday, daughter of Isaiah and Elvira Hornaday.
