He abode almost all of his time in this town until December 1861, then he removed to Wilbraham. The three or four last years prior to that removal, he "kept store" in the "Shaw Village".

After 1839 he returned to Lyndon and was employed a number of years by the Fairbanks Scale Company as sales agent. Later he was in the plow and floundry business. His biographer said of him, 'He was a large man, an old time whig, independent and set in opinions and one of the leaders of his party during active life. He was also a strong Methodist and an active leader in that church, it being through his influence that church in this village was built, previous to which, services had been held in his dwelling."
