Immediately after graduating, he received an appointment from Dr. B. A. Gould, of  Harvard College, at the head of the Scientific Department of the Sanitary Commission, to a position in that department, for the collection of statistics, and was stationed at the Naval Rendezvous and Recruiting Station in New York City, until May, 1865, when he was transferred to Alexandria, Virginia, where he remained until August, 1865, at which time he resigned and returned to New York. His work was published by Dr. Gould, in a volume of Memoirs of the Sanitary Commission, which was published soon after the war. He was then Principal of the Academy at Chester, Orange County, New York, for two years. Resigning this position, he went, in August, 1867, to Sandusky, Ohio, and took charge of the High School there, where he remained until April, 1870, at which time he decided to give up the profession of teaching. He began the study of law at this time in the office of Homer Goodwin, Esq., a leading lawyer at the Ohio Bar. He spent the Winter of 1871-2 at the Law School of Michigan University, at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was admitted to the bar on December 3, 1872, by the Ohio Supreme Court. He formed a copartnership with Judge S. F. Taylor, of Sandusky, Ohio, on February 23, 1873, which continued until the death of Judge Taylor, on October 1, 1882, since which time he has continued alone in the practice of his profession.

His religious preferences are indicated by the fact that he is a deacon in the Congregational church. In politics, he is a Republican.

He was married July 15, 1868, to Miss Sara E. Bell, of Sandusky, Ohio. They have three children: Nellie Stuart, born November 11, 1869; Jessie James, born August 22, 1874, and Sarah Bell, born May 22, 1879.
