He was a small man, but did lots of business. He bought the old tannery that stood on the brook near where Frank Spiller since lived and moved it down to East Otisfield and kept the first store there. He lived in various places, but died at East Otisfield on the place where M.V.B. Jillson since lived. He probably built the house on Lot 15, range 3, Phillips Gore, where Isaac Durrell later lived. -History of Otisfield, Cumberland, Maine from the original grant to the close of the year 1944, Oxford, Me, William Samuel Spurr, 1953
