With his former partner, Mr. Joshua Bates, he worked the woolen mills at Sly's Smiths Falls, for one year, then returned to Glen Tay, where he, with various partners, operated the saw and woolen mills there, finally acquiring full possession of the property, and only a few years ago disposing of ti, the Perth Waterpower and Electric Company becoming the owners.

On account of being a town-official, Mayor Stewart ordered the flag on the town-hall to be put at half-mast. Deceased was married to Miss Elizabeth Adams, daughter of the late Capt. Adams, of Glen Tay, who preceded him to the grave some years. Their children were Minnie (Mrs. Davis); Lucy (Mrs. Ward), deceased; Maggie, Anna, and Henrietta (Mrs. Sabiston).
