He continued in the cotton manufacturing business at Norwich until 1885, when he went to Sandusky, Ohio, thence to Chicago and from the latter city to Brooklyn, New York. His last days were spent in Hanover with his daughter, Mrs. D. C. Wells, and he died in that town in 1905. He was in early life a Whig in politics, and later a Republican.
