After graduation he practiced with his father for three years, and at the latter's death succeeded to his practice, winning for himself an enviable reputation in his own and adjoining towns and in the city of Lowell as a skillful and sympathetic, practitioner.

He organized the Ambulance Corps, M. V. M., in Lowell, and served in it three years, resigning to become assistant surgeon with the rank of lieutenant in Troop F, Cavalry, M. V. M. He was a member of many Masonic bodies, including council and commandery. He was a member of the Middlesex North Medical Society, of which he was at one time president, and of the Massachusetts Medical Society.

He was an enthusiastic lover of nature and of literature.
