He was secretary and treasurer of the Riverside Iron Works beginning from its organization, and it became one of the largest concerns south of Pittsburgh. It included bar mills, nail factories, etc., at Wheeling; steel plant, etc., at Benwood and furnaces, etc., at Steubenville. The Riverside Iron Works was rated by Bradstreets 1892 at over $1,000,000. A newspaper article stated that the Riverside Iron Works had in its employ 4000 men (1892). Shortly after entered the U. S. Steel Corporation and moved to Pittsburgh. In a testimonial to his widow the U. S.
