He never sought political preferment, but for many years was a prominent, public-spirited and useful citi- zen. He was a member of the board of directors of the bank in Franklin. As a member of the M. E. C. S. he was zeal- ous and diligent, being a steward, and in the Sunday school a teacher and treasurer.
