He soon entered upon a life-long pastorate with the Fourth Strafford church. He had a revival gift. He loved his denomination and was true to her benevolent interests. He was trustee of Strafford Academy nearly twenty years at an expense to himself of over $300 besides his time. He was an agent for a large manufacturing company for many years, bearing large and responsible interests. The house of worship at Bow Lake was erected by his means and influence. His wife, Miss Nancy French of New Durham, died in 1855 leaving four children. For several years he bore up with patience and trust under the disease which caused his death. He selected Rev. Enoch Place to preach his funeral sermon. His second wife survived him." --from "Free Baptist Cyclopedia," pub. 1889, by Burgess and Ward.
