He was secretary of the school board of directors of Richmond graded school for many years, and did much by his liberal and energetic course to promote the interests of the Richmond schools. He was, in every sense of the term, a good citizen. He died, August 1, 1880, after a short illness, greatly mourned, not only by his relatives, but by almost every one that knew him.
