Immediately after graduating, he entered the office of William Latham, Esq., in
Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and commenced the study of law. He continued his studies
there until June 21, 1866, when he was admitted to the bar of Plymouth county,
Massachusetts. He immediately entered upon the practice of his profession in company
with William Latham, Esq., at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. This copartnership continued
until October, 1873, at which time Mr. Latham retired from practice, and he has
continued alone up to the present time.
He was appointed a Justice of the Peace November 8, 1865. He was also
appointed a Captain in the State Militia in 1866, and held that position for one year. He
has been a Notary Public since November 25, 1873; Commissioner of Insolvency since
November 23, 1877; Special Justice of the First District Court of Plymouth County
since November 12, 1878, and City Solicitor of the city of Brockton, Massachusetts, since
March 5, 1883.
All of these official positions he continues to hold at the present time, with the
single exception of Captain of Militia, and, taken in connection with his regular legal
practice, they keep him crowded full of work all the time.
His religious preferences are Unitarian. In politics, he is a Republican.
He was married June 21, 1866, to Miss Carrie Cole, of North Carver,
Massachusetts. They have one child, Agnes Cole, born October 28, 1867.
