Thereafter, he succesfully engaged in the drug business in Sinclairville, in which he continued until his death in 1920. He was a devout Christian, a devoted husband and father, and freely spent himself, not only for the comforts and pleasures of his own family, but also for those of the community in which he lived. He was for several years organist of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a consistent member. For fifteen years prior to his death he was a resident of Springville, Erie County, New York, where, also, he conducted a drug and book store. He was killled in a street-car accident."
