At the beginning of the oil excitement he went to Oil City and boated oil down Oil creek until 1865, when he returned to Hickory, settled on a farm, and engaged in farming and lumbering; he also embarked in the mercantile business, at East Hickory, in 1888. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; served as commissioner of Forest County, and in politics was an advocate of prohibition.
