In 1893 he entered the railway mail service from which he retired in 1923, having served for thirty years. He was an active deacon in the church for many years, also acted as trustee; both places were held by him at his death. He was a faithful attendant to all services, a firm believer in the virgin birth, and the Blood atonement.
