T. J. was Chancellor Commander of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Masons lodge #58. He was committed to community and during most of his years in Greenwood county served in various positions including township trustee, constable, deputy sheriff, Justice of the Peace, and clerk of the district court. At the time of his death, he still owned most of the farm property he had purchased around Greenwood county which was passed to his children.
