After receiving the final honors, he went at once to Westboro, Massachusetts, where he obtained a situation as teacher in the State Reform School. He considered his initiation into the duties of that institution as rather severe, as one of his first experiences was to have a slate, minus the frame, hurled playfully at his head by one of the boys, who has since committed murder. He became master of the situation, however, and thenceforward only encountered the annoyances incident to such an institution. During his leisure hours here, he commenced the study of medicine. In October, 1865, he went to New York, and attended his first course of lectures at the University Medical College. At the end of the course, in February, 1866, he went to Farmington, New Hampshire, and took charge of the High School there for six months. During this period, he continued to read medicine in the office of N. A. Hersom, M.D. At the commencement of the next Winter term, in October, 1866, he returned to New York to resume his studies. In March, 1867, he received his diploma affirming the fact that he was duly qualified to practise medicine and "deal in die stuffs." He remained in New York for two months, attending clinics at the various hospitals. About the first of June, 1867, he opened an office for the practice of his profession at Ballardvale, a manufacturing village in the town of Andover, Massachusetts. He remained there until he saw a desirable opening at West Newton, Massachusetts, to which place he removed in September, 1868.  He continued in practice here until October, 1874, when he removed to Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, where he has continued in the practice of his profession up to the present time, with good success; even being successful as the defendant in a suit for malpractice, which, after two years' litigation, has been recently decided in his favor.

He was Secretary of his district Medical Society for four years, and is now one of the Board of Censors. In the Fall of 1875, he had a severe attack of sickness, supposed to be consumption, which kept him from work for five months. Since recovering from that, he has enjoyed much better health than for ten years preceding.

His religious preferences may be inferred when it is stated that he is a deacon in the Prospect-street Congregational Church. In politics, he is a Republican. 

He was married June 30, 1868, to Miss Caroline L. Cooper, of Andover,  Massachusetts. They have four children: Alfred Hastings, born November 21, 1871; E. Cleveland, born August 23, 1874; Marian Cooper, born November 26, 1877; Caroline Marcia, born August 15, 1882.
