Notes |
- He was a man of public spirit, prominent in military circles and in the temperance movement. He was a farmer at Bolton; kept a hotel at Harvard ; manufactured chairs at Westminster.
He was an enterprising, public spirited man, much interested in military affairs and somewhat given to speculation in real estate, in which he was quite successful. He was an earnest advocate of temperance, and on account of his activity, in support of his belief, he suffered some personal indignities. He was at one time captain of the Westminster guards.
