In California, he was employed on the street railway system of San Francisco and soon became manager. He returned to Albany where he worked as a brewer, became director of the National Savings Bank of Albany, and served as fire commissioner of Albany 1869-1878. He was mayor of Albany from May 1878 to June 24, 1883 and served in the Forty-seventh Congress (March 4, 1881-March 3, 1883). After his stint in public office, he continued his business activities and died in Albany on May 31, 1905. He is now interned at St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands, New York.
