COmpanied them, but returned and be-
came cashier for Armour & Co. in this
city. In 1896 he was elected cashier
Of the water department and served
two years, after which he returned to
Armour & Co., which company quickly
and accountant. From here he went to
Worcester with the same company and
later to Springfield, where he was pro-
NOTED to auditor, and he was after
wards located as such in Boston,
Portland and Syracuse. He was audi
tor for eight years, when failing health

disposition and made many friends
thereby. He was particularly interest
ed in militia and was for several years
captain of the old Company G, previous
