In his young days he was active in the plumbing business and also in the lime making business. For years he was a school trustee, serving without pay and he was also a street supervisor for a long time. He had charge of the poor fund of the Third ward and looked after the work in connection with that fund. As a church worker he was active holding the position of high priest. In 1886 to 1888 he served a mission in England. The deceased is survived by a widow, two children, twelve grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren.
