In 1880, John is to be living by himself in East Otto, Cattaragus County, working as a laborer¹⁷. John and his wife had separated and apparently were divorced, as both remarried. Then in 1883, John's share of the farm in Concord was sold in a Sheriff's Auction. Over the next twenty years, John lived in East Otto. In 1885, a Laura Faulring sold a piece of land in East Otto, the first indication that John had remarried.
