In 1860, his health failed, but five years later he took up the work [evidently the ministry] again and had appointments at Appleton, Missouri; Concordia, Liberty, Weston, Leavenworth, all in Kansas; and Beardstown, Illinois. He then retired and had a grocery store in Bloomington for 13 years. He built his home next door and lived with Sarah until his death. was of sound mind until his death. He died working.
