For a number of years, he was proprietor of the old Conley Mill on Decker's Creek and the Fortney Mill at Independence. He was Republican and attended the Methodist Church. He was living in Lyon District in 1880. (U.S. Census) (Joy Gilchrist) He is buried in the Union Cemetery, near Independence, WV.
