He held several town offices, and was a member for many years of the Presbyterian church. He was married in 1861 to Liveria R., daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth M. Bickford of Piermont, who died Sept. 18, 1902. Of this union eight children were born, of whom seven, five sons and two daughters, survive their parents. The fifth son, Perley, graduated with highest honors from the medical department of Yale University last June, and was killed in a railroad accident at Two Harbors, Minn., in the following month.
