He engaged in farming the next spring at which he continued a few years'then moved to Kent, OH where he entered the wood department of the Erierailroad shops. In 1884 he moved to Huntington, IN continuing in railroad employ as foreman. In 1902 moved to Monmouth, IL, in the employ of the Iowa Central RR Co., On account of failing health he resigned this position Nov, 1904, and moved to Wabash, IN hoping by rest to regain his health, but to no purpose-the end came soon.

Mrs Powell had also been a student to Mt. Union college, where theyfirst became acquainted, and taught in the public schools of Portage County, OH. In early life he entered the service of the church being first identified with that of his parents' but after his marriage united with the M.E. church of which his wife was also a member, continuing this relation to the end of his life. He was a member of the GAR Post at Huntington and also of the order of Masons, both of which participated in his funeral services."
