He was a man of some literary taste and acquirement, and yielding to the wishes of the community in which he lived, he engaged a good deal of his time in teaching school. He was a successful teacher, and a large part of his later life was devoted to that profession. He died August 11, 1854. His wife died in 1867. Both were members of the Baptist church.
