In 1896 he sold his business there and decided to make his home in Toledo, where he was employed by the Western Gas and Chandelier Co for 10 years, and was compelled to give up his position on account of his ill health four years before his death. He sold his property and invested in the grocery and confectionery business which he conducted successfully until he had to give up four weeks before his death.
He leaves to mourn, his wife, three children, and a host of friends. His motto through life was the simple one but good one. "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you". He will live in the memories of many long after his death, for there are a great many good deeds he has done which will never be forgotten.
