On leaving school he worked with his father at cabinet making till 1848, when lie undertook in the town the management of a similar concern, which he subsequently purchased and carried on with an undertaking business till 1864, when he commenced hotel keeping in his present house. Some years later on he returned to his original trade. At the end of five years he again took the Post Office Hotel, which he has now conducted for fifteen years.
