His oldest brother gave his life in the service of his country during the Civil war.

He bought and conducted a large farm there at LaHarpe until in 1905, when he was elected county treasurer and he and his family moved to Iola, the county seat. He served four years as county treasurer, and later, in 1912, came back to New York state and bought the farm home, where he has since resided with the exception of several winters which were spent in Kansas. He was a man of sterling integrity and a successful business man. He was engaged in the general merchandise business for several years at Groveland Corners before his marriage and removal to Kansas.
