According to Tom Loghrin on Wikitree https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kingan-22:
"John grew up in Peterborough, Ontario and became an assistant to his father in the hardware store. There he remained for four years, after which he spent five years in Montreal in the wholesale hardware business. He moved to the United States about 1877 and was engaged in the grain business west of Chicago on the Chicago and Iowa railroad. He went to Kansas about 1879 and settled in Mound Valley where he was engaged in the lumber and grain business for eight years. He came to Toronto (Kansas) from Emporia, Kansas where he was connected with the lumber trade for two years as representative of the firm S. A. Brown & Company. He bought the lumber business of S. A. Brown in Toronto, Kansas[1].
He married Ida in Mound Valley, Kansas and their first child, Fred, was born there. John's younger brother, Fred, had moved from Michigan to Join them in Toronto, Kansas in 1895. The family lived in Topeka before they moved to Colorado; by 1920 they were in Trinidad, Colorado. Finally, they lived in Denver.
John worked in the lumber business most of his life. In 1910 he was a lumber yard proprietor in Topeka and, in 1930, he managed a lumber yard in Denver.
He is buried with his wife and son in Mount Hope Cemetery, Topeka, Kansas."
