After being employed for a brief time with the H. E. Bradford plant, he became affiliated with the Bennington Hosiery Company and was a foreman there until the plant discontinued its operations in the 1930's.  His last employment had been with Ben Mont Papers, Inc. where he retired in 1954 due to frail health.

During the days when he was active, he was an ardent outdoorsman and fond of hunting, fishing and camping.  At one time he belonged to the Masonic Order, a member of Bennington Lodge.  He was a member of Loyal Order of Moose here.
