After spending a few months at his home in Danvers, he went to Gloucester,
Massachusetts, where he taught school until January, 1866, when he went to Bridgeport,
Connecticut, as bookkeeper for the Howe Sewing Machine Company, which situation he
occupied until April, 1868. In June, 1868, he went West on a prospecting tour as far as
Ohio; and having received an advantageous offer to become the Superintendent of
Union Schools at Dresden, Ohio, he removed to that place, and assumed his duties there
in September, 1868. He remained there until the Summer of 1871, when, being
grievously afflicted with the ague, he was obliged to make a change and return to the
East. In September, 1871, he accepted a call to become Principal of the Graded School
at North Bennington, Vermont, a position which he has ably and satisfactorily filled up
to the present time. He has the reputation of being one of the very best of teachers.
He has made several pleasure trips to the West as far as Chicago, where he was
the guest of the writer of this history. Many happy hours were spent in living over again
our college days, to our mutual enjoyment and satisfaction.
His religious preference is for the Congregational church. In politics, he is a
Republican.
He was married December 15, 1871, to Miss Grace D. Sargent, of Gloucester,
Massachusetts. They have one child, May Webster, born September 22, 1872.
