This good man traveled far – from Douglas, Isle of Man, England to Bountiful, Utah to Arizona, to Old Mexico, back to Arizona and then to Bountiful again. The sixty-seven years he lived was a lifetime of loving service while pioneering. It was full of hard work, heartbreak, faith and hope.
Always a carpenter and able to do cabinetwork, John Edward enjoyed building nice homes, churches and places of business. He served as Justice of the Peace for a time while living in Northern Arizona. Before leaving Douglas, he was asked by the government to serve as scout in helping to hunt Poncho Villa. He directed the search several months in Sonora and near-by states.

Early in 1915 he became so ill that Luella Jane, with the two younger daughters, Edna and Ina, took him back to Bountiful for special treatments in Salt Lake City. Here he passed away among his cousins and relatives September 4, 1915 and was laid to rest in the Bountiful Cemetery.
