After his return home, in 1863, he engaged in business as a lumberman and contractor in Barnett township, Jefferson County, until 1867. He then moved to Tionesta, Forest County, where he followed the business of a contractor until 1873, when he em-barked in the hotel business, in which he was engaged until 1884, in which year he was elected sheriff of Forest County for a term of three years.
