Notes - He left home at the age of 19 years and went to NYC, thence to New Orleans, LA, but as yellow fever was epidemic there; shipped as carpenter on a vessel bound to Liverpool; returned to New Orleans; thence around Cape Horn to San Francisco and to Maysville, where he prospected for gold. He returned by way of the isthmus to New Orleans. For a time he lived in Texas. Then his uncle, Darius Lloyd assisted him to engage in business as a merchant in New Orleans. He was drafted into the Confederate Army in the cavalry and had to give up his store. After his discharge from the army, he returned to his home in Holliston and went to work in the Payson & Cutler wood working mill, making church furniture. He moved to Brimfield with his father and operated a large saw mill a number of years. He was injured in the mill and obliged to quit business for nearly a year. He lived at West Quincy, Atlantic and Squantum, where he had a large milk route and truck farm. For a time he had a saw mill and grist mill at Victor, NY and afterward for six months at Bedford, MA. He removed to Washington territory in the winter of 1888 and settled in Tumwater, where he built a saw mill and manufactured lumber. During his last years he was a market gardner. He was always active in church and was an elder in the church. He held several offices in Tumwater, WA.
