For nearly score of years after his leav- ing college he pursued the vocation of farming. In 1S45, and also in 1856, he was elected to the senate. He also held seat in the general assembly from 1861 to 1867. He acted five years as state comptroller of accounts. For twentyfour years he held the office of judge of probate, and his term coming to an end then owing to the constitu- tiOnal provision limiting that office to the age of 70.
