He died November 20, 1882, leaving a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn with his family the loss of a public-spirited and enterprising citizen. He was an earnest member of the Congregational church and a strong advocate of temperance. In politics he was a Republican with Greenback tendencies. He was married in 1867 to Clara E.
