During and after his college course, though only a boy and not a stalwart one, he taught the village school in Little Compton. He returned to Providence to study medicine, and became acquainted with

He was settled over the First Church in Salem between 1850 and 1869, and from that time till his death over the Third Church in Cambridgeport.

He was twice married: to Miss Lucretia Bartlett, of Medford, during his Fall River settlement, and to Miss Lucia Russell, near the close of his Plymouth pastorate.
