Immediately after graduating, he went to Corinth, Vermont, where he taught school for the Fall term. During the Winter of 1864, he taught at Fisherville, New Hampshire; and in the Spring of 1865, he became Principal of the Academy at McIndoes Falls, Vermont, where he remained until the Fall of 1867. He then received a call to become Principal of the Caledonia County Academy, at Peacham, Vermont ; and considering it quite a loud call pecuniarily, he accepted the position, and has continued to occupy the situation until the present time. He says he has a good school, in a pleasant community, and is happy and contented. In the Summer of 1882, he took a trip West as far as Chicago, Illinois, and frankly confesses that he likes the West, and really would offer no serious objections to locate there.

He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. He has been Superintendent of Schools in the town of Peacham for the past fourteen years, which is the only public office he has held, with the single exception noted below; though he wonders very much that his merits and capabilities in the direction of office-holding have been so long overlooked by his fellow-citizens.

At the annual meeting of the Vermont State Teachers' Association, held at Montpelier, Vermont, October 24-27, 1883, he was elected President for the ensuing year.

In his political views, he has always been faithless to the Democratic party.

He was married May 20, 1869, to Miss Nellie S. Blake, daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Blake, of Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire.

This union has not been blessed with children, which is a cause of deep regret to the would-be parents, as they have peculiar ideas and theories in regard to the best way of rearing offspring, which would undoubtedly be of inestimable value to their fellow-men.
