That fall he bought the residence on Seventh Street North which the family still owns. He bought a butcher shop when he moved to town and operated this business for several years.
He then was Chief of Police under Mayor Arthur Connolly after which he worked at the Science School. With the exception of two years spent in the employ of the Indian School, he has been with the Science School since until poor health made it impossible to continue working and he resigned in August last year, after 20 years employment at the local institution.
