At the age of sixteen he procured the groceries and provisions for the family. Drove an ox team laden with wood from his home to Portsmouth, a distance of ten miles, sold the wood in the open market and bought goods for the home....As a farmer he raised large crops kept good stock that was well fed and cared for. He had fine fruit owning one of the best pear orchards in the town...His faith and trust in God never faltered. The hope of immortality never dimmed; firm was the belief that life is eternal; that death is only the change from the good life here to the better life beyond...
