He left college at the end of the first year, in July, 1861, and went to St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where he became Principal of the Graded School, and so continued for one year. On account of failing health, he spent a season in the woods of the Lake Superior region, with very much benefit to himself. He then returned to Vermont, and was elected Cashier of the Northfield National Bank, which position he occupied until June, 1867, when he was obliged to resign by reason of ill health. He then went to St. Johnsbury, and was for about one year the editor of the St. Johnsbury Times, which was published by his classmate E. L. Hovey. He was then engaged in manufacturing interests in Waterbury and Montpelier, Vermont, for several years. In January, 1880, he formed a connection with the Vermont Watchman and Stale Journal, published at Montpelier, Vermont, and is at present the editor of that paper.

He was married June 28, 1864, to Miss Mary J. Hutchins, of Waterbury, Vermont.  They have two children: Charlotte, born March 2, 1866, and Laura Livingston, born June 16, 1872.
