He was employed in woodworking concerns in Worcester for many years and resided at 18 Franconia St. When a young man he served in Co. E., 10th Regt. M.V.M. of Ashburnham. He died from the affects of an automobile accident. He was thrown from his machine while driving in Fitchburg and was taken to the Fitchburg Hospital, where he died 10 days later.
