He came to New Ipswich at the age of twenty years and began his long and vigorous business activities in Davis Village, but in two years removed to the Center Village, where for a long time he em- ployed a larger number of workmen than were required for any other industry in that village. His cigar manufactory required over fifty workmen, which at that period made him one of the leaders of that business in the country. He also had a match factory with fifteen employees, a bakery, a labo- ratory for the production of essences and various proprietary articles, a lumber mill, and a country store. During the Civil War he established a branch house at Washington, D. C., which furnished a very large amount of bakery products and other articles desired under the existing conditions. The de- mands of his large business forbade any large activities in less personal interests, but he served the town as selectman and as representative, and was a trustee of the Academy dur- ing a large part of his life.
