Jón worked in Winnipeg in 1878 and there he met by chance Jóhann Pétur Hallsson who was then on his way from New Iceland south to N. Dakota. Jón followed and by then his mother, Karitas Árnadóttir, had come west. Together they took land in the settlement that later became Hallson in 1879. Jón ended up in the Lakes settlement (Vatnabyggð) in Saskatchewan in 1918 and lived in Elfros.
