From a record of his life it is revealed that he served on the jury 30 times. After his farming experience he took up blacksmithing and real estate in Luray. He built six homes in Luray and two carriage factories in down town Luray both of which burned to the ground in later years. He built a blacksmith shop at the spot now occupied by the Waters building for L.J. Moyer. That also burned.
