He was one of the four brothers who came to Manlius in 1821, and resided there till his death in 1885. He was engaged in the cotton manufacturing business for several years, afterwards in the mowing machine business, and still later in a foundry and machine shop. He was a reliant, methodical man, whose word could always be trusted, and whose advice in business was often sought; was a member and officer in the M. E. church for over fifty years, a Mason and treasurer of Military Lodge for a long time. In later years he retired from all business, and died at the advanced age of ninety-one. Of his immediate family only one is now living, Mrs. Theodore Stevens of Syracuse."
