He re- signed this position in 1846; and for the four successive years ensuing, em- ployed his time in teaching school and attending to the duties devolving on him as a Justice of the Peace. About 1848-49, he removed from Brook- line to Townsend Hill; where for a few years following he was associated with Daniel Bills in the coopering business. In 1855 he removed with his family to Boston, Mass .; where he was employed as book-keeper in the store of Joseph C. Tucker, who was then engaged in the retail West India goods and grocery business in that city. He retained this position until 1869; when, Mr. Tucker having closed out his business, he returned to Townsend Hill. In the fore part of the sixties hie removed from the Hill to West Townsend, where he entered the employment of the Hon. Walter Fessenden of Townsend Centre, as general superintendent and overseer of the work connected with his business as a wholesale manufacturer of and dealer in lumber and barrels; a position which he occupied until Mr. Fessenden's death. After which event he retired from active business operations, and passed the remainder of his life at his residence in West Townsend, in the society of his family; to which he was deeply attached.
As a citizen, Mr. Sawtelle was highly esteemed and respected by his fellow citizens, both in Brookline and in Townsend; as is evinced by the many positions of trust and responsibility with which they honored him. During his residence in Brookline, he was moderator in 1845 and 1846, and Representative in the legislatures of 1846, 1847 and 1848. In Town- send he served many times on the board of education and occupied other important civil positions.
