In 1863 he went to New Albany, Indiana where he clerked at a store for about a year. With the exception of a few months spent in the town of Harrisonville, Indiana, Joseph Meads had farmed all his active life until his retirement in 1912. During this time, he acquired a farm consisting of one hundred acres in Washington Township, Daviess Township, where he lived until he sold out in 1912 when he moved to Washington (Indiana) in with his daughter Lillian. The subject's wife was born November 27th, 1845, and her maiden name was Theresa McClellan. She was a native of Barr Township, Daviess County, and died on Dec. 10th, 1910.
