For eight years he clerked for Mr. Fletcher, later engaging in business, in Patterson, with Seaman, Irish & Co., several years. He then embarked in business in New York, continuing same, for a time, but traded his interests there for a hotel in Patterson, which he conducted from October 14, 1868, to 1896, a period of twenty-eighth years. He has now disposed of his business to John Cruthers. He then opened a meat market, but sold that, and is now retired from active business.
