| Notes |
- He attended the middle district school in his native town until he was thirteen years old, when his father died and his mother moved to Saxonville, where he attended the grammar school one year and then went to work in the Simpson blanket and yarn mill there. His health suffered from the mill work and in April, 1859, he entered the employ of the Thompson Sewing Machine Company, Worcester, as office boy; in September following he went to work in a gun and locksmith shop in that city. After the war he was in the employ of the Ballard Rifle works and when that concern moved to Newburyport, he moved to that town and continued in it's employ under the new name of Merrimac Arms Co. After his marriage, he returned to Worcester and worked at his trade as machinist. He entered the employ of the Brown and Sharp Mfg. Co. of Providence, Nov 25, 1872, and was with that concern 32 years, engaged in making small tools and fixtures. Resided at 42 Common Street, Providence, RI.
