From December 7, 1895, until February, 1897, he was pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Kansas City, Mo., and from September, 1898, to October, 1902, pastor at Little Compton, R.I. In 1903 he was called to Meadville, Pa.

He had never married. Information from Obituary Records of Graduates of Yale University Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Alumni 1910 |
