Nearly to the end of his ninety-three years he was characterized by great physical and intellectual vigor. The mathematical mind which made him a prize winner at Yale was of great value in working out all the details of personal and parish administration.
He was married, on June 6, 1860, in Worcester, Massachussets, to Charlotte Grosvenor Whiton.
