He was then employed as a clerk by Timins Brothers, a large grocery firm of Loughborough, for whom he worked until he was twenty-one. After that he traveled for several years for a wholesale grocery house, and then took a position with the Midland Railway Company, in the Houston Square passenger depot, London. On Nov. 30, 1868, he married, at St. Pancra's Church, Houston Square, Annie Hockley Glasscock, and they sailed for Amer- ica from London docks, December 12, of the same year. Their vessel was the "Rhine," and she had a rough voyage, breaking her rudder off Newfound- land, and putting back to Queenstown, where she lay four days. After sixteen weeks the young couple landed in New York, and went at first to Peekskill. After a few weeks there they returned to New York City, whence they removed to South Coventry, Conn. There Mr. Auwood entered the finishing mill of Rawitzer Brothers, where he re- mained two years. Going then to Stafford Springs he was employed in the building of what is now Rawitzer Brothers' shoddy mill, and worked there for two years. On Aug. 3, 1873, he came to Mont- ville as bookkeeper for Richard G. Hooper, retain- ing that position four years.

His next position was that of station agent for the Central Vermont Railway Company, at Montville, where he remained three years.
