In 1850 he built the 'Fountain Hotel' at Fountain and conducted it for 25 years. He was active in public affairs, holding the offices of the poor director of Schuylkill County, township treasurer; tax collector and supervisor, and he was one of the leading members of the Democratic party. He served as post master for the Fountain Post Office.
